2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FA64 AWH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive service pattern rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 116,164 miles passed with only an advisory for a damaged nearside front tyre. While the car has passed its last three tests, the historical data shows a trend of the owner only addressing faults once they trigger an MOT failure, particularly regarding safety-critical wear components. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. There is a steady increase in usage recorded from 47,736 miles in early 2018 to 116,164 miles in early 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly, but the year-long gap between the February 2024 failure and March 2024 pass indicates that the car was driven significant distances without scheduled maintenance, leading to multiple components failing simultaneously during the annual inspection. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking system due to recurring failures in these areas. In February 2023, the tester flagged fractured rear coil springs and severely weakened rear brake discs, which are indicative of neglected structural integrity of metal components. The repeated history of tyres falling below the legal tread limit across 2018, 2023, and 2024 suggests poor wheel alignment or a general failure to replace consumables before they become hazardous. The exhaust emissions failure in March 2024 at 94,668 miles warrants further attention to the engine health and fuel system, as high emissions can point to underlying incomplete combustion or sensor issues. Given the high mileage, check for excessive corrosion on the underbody and the condition of the suspension bushes, as the previous failure of broken springs suggests the undercarriage has been under significant stress without timely replacement.
