2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BV14 CFO

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension and consumables. While the most recent test in June 2025 at 138,961 miles passed, the presence of a corroded coil spring and worn offside rear tyre indicates that components are reaching their end of life. The recurring flagging of suspension arm bushes across multiple years suggests that the previous owners have only addressed mechanical wear once they approach the point of failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 138,961 miles over twelve years, the Insignia has averaged approximately 11,580 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The record shows consistent usage, with roughly 5,200 miles covered between the June 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,700 miles between 2023 and 2024. This steady accumulation suggests the car is used regularly, which generally helps prevent internal corrosion but accelerates wear on rubber components and braking systems. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front and rear suspension geometry, as the tester repeatedly identifies worn pins and bushes in both the nearside and offside arms. The 2025 advisory regarding the corroded offside rear coil spring requires attention to ensure the structural integrity of the spring is not compromised. Furthermore, the history of exposed cords on previous tyres indicates that the current rubber set may require immediate replacement to meet safety standards. Given the history of windscreen damage and wiper failure in 2023, the glass and blade assembly should also be checked for new cracks or perished rubber that could impair visibility.
