2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FA64 AWN

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in April 2025 at 55,789 miles showed a pass despite an inoperative offside rear registration plate lamp and both rear tyres worn to the legal limit. While the car consistently passes, the recurring nature of tyre and wiper-related failures suggests that the owner only addresses defects once they threaten an MOT certificate rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 55,789 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between November 2018 and May 2020, where the vehicle covered only 6,520 miles over seventeen months. Since then, usage has remained consistent at roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles annually. This low-mileage profile can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake corrosion due to the vehicle standing stationary for extended periods, which warrants scrutiny. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the record shows uneven wear patterns. The 2023 test flagged thin offside front brake pads at 2mm, while the 2024 and 2025 tests highlighted tyres worn on the edges, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The 2020 note regarding undertrays restricting access also necessitates a physical check of the chassis to ensure no structural corrosion has developed hidden behind the plastic shielding, as the tester previously prevented a clear view of the structural integrity.
