2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DX64 XJP

The vehicle is currently road‑worthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 22 December 2025 at 177,213 miles, but the pattern of recurring oil leaks, thin front brake pads and corroded rear coil springs indicates a maintenance trend that is stable yet showing incremental wear rather than improvement. The tester flagged an oil leak that is not excessive, front brake pads wearing thin, and both rear coil springs exhibiting corrosion, all of which were also noted in earlier tests. Mileage has risen from 68,168 miles on 8 September 2017 to 177,213 miles by the end of 2025, averaging roughly 14,800 miles per year. This high annual accumulation suggests sustained use rather than long periods of storage, and the consistent yearly MOTs provide a relatively complete mileage record. No large gaps appear in the log, confirming that the odometer readings are credible and that the vehicle has been driven regularly throughout its twelve‑year life. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to the rear suspension, inspecting the coil springs for corrosion and confirming that the rear shock absorbers are free of oil seepage, as light misting was reported on 28 October 2024. Front braking performance warrants a close visual check of the pads and discs, given repeated observations of thin pads in 2020, 2021 and 2025. The recurring oil leak, noted from 2020 through 2025, should be located and assessed for any potential impact on engine seals or coolant lines. Tyre condition must be verified, especially the front tyres that have repeatedly approached the legal tread limit, and the off‑side front tyre that previously failed due to insufficient tread. Finally, the 2021 failure of a rear coil spring fracture and the 2021 CV boot split highlight the need to examine structural integrity of the rear suspension and front driveline components for any signs of fatigue or damage.
