2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · CV63 VVT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 115,550 miles passed, but with advisories for both rear inner tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a 2025 advisory where the rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin, suggesting that components are only being addressed once they approach point of failure. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,900 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the record between August 2022 and January 2024, during which the car covered roughly 4,700 miles. Since then, the mileage has accelerated, covering over 25,000 miles between the January 2024 and February 2026 tests. This recent surge in usage indicates frequent use, which places higher stress on the suspension and braking systems of the Insignia. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly. The failure in August 2022 for a fractured nearside rear coil spring is a known weakness for this model, and the subsequent uneven tyre wear noted in 2026 could indicate persistent alignment issues or worn shock absorbers. The buyer should also verify the thickness of the brake discs and check for sticking calipers, as the history shows a recurring pattern of thin components on the rear axle.
