2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DA61 USF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status based on the September 2025 MOT test at 116,468 miles. The maintenance history demonstrates a stable trend of passing inspections, though recurring advisories point toward ongoing wear in the suspension and tyre systems. The most recent test flagged light oil misting on the offside front shock absorbers and noted a worn suspension arm pin or bush on the offside rear, which requires attention. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,765 miles per year between 2022 and 2025. The record shows a steady increase in mileage, with specific concerns emerging in the tyre condition. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the vehicle experienced repeated advisories regarding the nearside and offside rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit. This pattern suggests a need for regular tyre replacement to maintain safe operation. A thorough physical inspection should focus on the suspension components, specifically checking the offside rear arm pin or bush for excessive play or wear. The history of tyre wear indicates that the current tyres may be nearing the end of their service life, and replacement should be considered immediately. While the brake pad wear noted in 2021 was resolved, the suspension components flagged in the most recent test warrant a detailed look to ensure structural integrity remains sound.
