2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DL11 ACZ

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition with a notably stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 102,811 miles resulted in no defects recorded, continuing a clean streak that has lasted since July 2019. This indicates that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard and that the previous owners have proactively addressed any emerging issues before they escalated into failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a fifteen-year-old Insignia, averaging 6,854 miles per annum. Between July 2020 and March 2026, the car covered 19,774 miles, showing steady, predictable use rather than long periods of stagnation or excessive strain. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though the lack of significant mileage can sometimes mean that rubber-based components like bushings and seals require inspection for age-related degradation despite low mechanical wear. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension geometry, as the history shows a propensity for coil spring failure. The vehicle failed in 2017 at 67,388 miles due to a broken nearside rear coil spring and again in 2018 at 72,433 miles with a fractured offside rear spring. While these issues have been resolved, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the suspension components may be under stress or reaching the end of their fatigue life. Checking for sagging or excessive corrosion is advisable. The braking system also showed a history of requiring attention, as evidenced by the 2018 failure for thin front brake linings. Although the vehicle has passed the last six tests without brake-related advisories or failures, a physical inspection should verify the remaining life of the pads and the condition of the brake discs to ensure no uneven wear has developed. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural integrity on the subframes and sills is also essential, as the record does not explicitly detail the presence of corrosion in recent years.
