2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.8L Petrol · EU11 ARZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the May 2026 test at 111,828 miles. While the car has encountered minor issues in the past, the most recent two consecutive tests in 2025 and 2026 show no recorded defects, suggesting a period of consistent maintenance. The maintenance trend has improved significantly since 2022, moving from a failure to a clean record. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,455 miles per year. The records show steady usage without significant periods of dormancy or sudden, excessive mileage spikes. Between the May 2024 test at 85,632 miles and the May 2025 test at 97,326 miles, the car covered 11,694 miles, which is slightly higher than the historical average but remains within typical parameters for a primary vehicle. The MOT history highlights a recurring pattern of tyre wear issues. In May 2023, the tester flagged worn inner edges on the rear tyres, and the May 2024 test recorded both nearside and offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit with bald inner edges. This pattern often indicates incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. A buyer should specifically inspect the wheel alignment and check the condition of the suspension components to ensure these wear patterns do not persist. A mechanical inspection should also verify the integrity of the rear suspension, noting that the vehicle failed in May 2022 due to a fractured offside rear coil spring. Although this was rectified, checking for any signs of corrosion or play in the suspension assembly is prudent. Given the recent clean passes, the vehicle appears well-maintained, but verifying the condition of the tyres and alignment remains the primary technical recommendation.
