2016 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FD16 KFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in December 2025 at 42,728 miles passed, it still flagged worn and pitted front brake discs along with thin pads. These issues were also present during the December 2024 test, indicating that the owner only addresses critical braking components once they reach the point of failure or significant advisory status, rather than replacing them during a scheduled service interval. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,273 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 3,000 miles driven between the 2023 tests and another 800 miles between the two most recent tests. However, this low mileage appears to have accelerated the degradation of rubber components. The record repeatedly notes perishing tyres and sidew damage across 2023 and 2024, suggesting the car sits for long periods, allowing materials to dry out and crack. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the offside front top suspension mount, which has been flagged for play since at least December 2023 at 38,930 miles. This persistent fault suggests a worn bearing or bushing that has not yet been rectified. Additionally, the rear brake discs, noted as corroding and wearing in late 2024, should be checked for excessive thickness or rust-related pitting. Given the history of intermittent tyre pressure monitoring system failures and perishing tyres, a thorough check of the electronic sensors and the age of all four tyres is essential before purchase.
