2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FE15 EFB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical wear and deferred attention. The most recent test in October 2025 at 100,434 miles identified a binding on the offside rear service brake and thin front brake pads measured at 3.5mm. This binding is a recurring issue, having also appeared in October 2023 at 94,523 miles, suggesting a persistent caliper or slider pin fault that has not been fully rectified. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,130 miles per year. The car progressed steadily from 70,288 miles in early 2020 to 100,434 miles by late 2025, indicating a regular usage cycle. While the 2024 test at 97,753 miles was clean of defects, the subsequent 2025 result highlights that as the vehicle crosses the six-figure mile mark, consumable and mechanical components are beginning to require urgent replacement. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear braking system to determine if the binding is caused by a seized caliper or simply lack of lubrication. The 2022 record at 90,522 miles also noted worn nearside rear upper suspension bushes and adrift shock absorber dust covers, which should be checked for signs of further rubber degradation or oil leaks. Given the history of ABS and stability control warning lights in 2020, the electronic safety systems should be verified to ensure no latent faults remain in the dashboard.
