2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · CP15 YRY

The Vauxhall Insignia’s most recent MOT test on 2025-08-06, at 85,376 miles, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no recorded defects. The absence of advisories or failures across the last three consecutive passes—including the 2024-09-09 test at 74,863 miles—suggests a stable maintenance history, though the duplicate entry for that date (one pass, one fail) appears anomalous and may warrant clarification. No recurring faults have been logged, indicating the tester did not identify persistent issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or corrosion in critical areas. That said, the 2024-09-06 failure at the same mileage, despite passing the previous test just three days earlier, raises suspicion of administrative error or a brief but unresolved mechanical issue that was not repeated. The recorded mileage of 85,376 miles over 11 years aligns with typical usage patterns for this age, averaging around 7,761 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the 2024-09-09 duplicate—one pass, one fail—stands out as an inconsistency. The vehicle appears to have been driven steadily without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could mitigate some wear concerns, but the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means hidden mechanical degradation cannot be ruled out. The most recent test occurred just under a year ago, which is within the standard 12-month MOT validity period, though a thorough inspection remains essential given the vehicle’s age. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person examination of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, for excessive wear or cracking. The brakes—though not flagged—should be checked for uneven pad thickness, glazed discs, or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard. Corrosion should be inspected at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are prone to deterioration in older models. Finally, the exhaust system and catalytic converter should be scrutinised for leaks or damage, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age. The absence of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, and a professional inspection is advisable before purchase.
