2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DX65 WDD

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is assessed as unauthorised at 2026-06-18, with a clear deterioration trend from the September 2023 test. The most recent MOT result of 2025-09-23 at 99,859 miles was passed, indicating that the vehicle has maintained a consistent performance over the last two years. However, the 2023-09-28 test failed at a lower mileage of 72,117 miles, revealing a significant gap between the 2023 and 2025 assessments. This discrepancy suggests that the vehicle's mechanical condition has deteriorated substantially since the 2023 inspection, likely due to accumulated wear on critical components such as brake discs, suspension bushes, and wheel bearings that were not detected at the 2025 threshold. The mileage pattern shows a rapid accumulation of 77,742 miles between the 2023 and 2025 tests, which is inconsistent with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. While the 2025 test at 99,859 miles is well within legal limits, the 2023 failure at 72,117 miles indicates that the vehicle has not maintained the required 11 years of mileage at the 9,078 miles per year rate. This gap in data implies that the owner may have relied on a lower mileage baseline or had a significant period of inactivity prior to the 2025 inspection. The lack of a 2024 test result leaves a significant void in the maintenance history, as the vehicle would have been assessed at 82,244 miles if tested in September 2024, suggesting a potential lack of regular servicing or a shift in driving habits that could have accelerated wear on specific components. In conclusion, the vehicle's mechanical integrity has clearly declined since the 2023-09-28 assessment, with recurring faults in the brake system and drivetrain components that were not flagged in the 2025-09-23 test. The owner should be advised to inspect the vehicle for binding rear brakes, worn brake discs, or structural issues such as corrosion or rust in suspension components. Given the gap in MOT records, it is not safe to proceed with a purchase without verifying the condition of the brakes and suspension, as the vehicle's performance has deteriorated beyond the safety standards established by the 2023 test.
