2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FE15 EJO

The 2015 Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend based on the available DVSA MOT records. The most recent test, conducted on 13 May 2025 at 129,317 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health has been consistent; the vehicle passed every recorded test in the provided history, with the sole exception being a pass on 4 December 2023 that followed an earlier failure on the same day at 112,686 miles, a pattern suggesting a minor, promptly rectified issue. The trend is firmly stable, indicating no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The mileage accumulation is entirely typical for an eleven-year-old vehicle. The recorded miles rose from 95,760 in December 2022 to 129,317 by May 2025, an average of roughly 11,756 miles per year. The gap between the December 2023 and May 2024 tests shows a modest accumulation of approximately 2,287 miles over five months, while the subsequent year to May 2025 saw a more significant jump of 14,123 miles, suggesting a period of heavier use or a long journey. There are no alarming gaps or implausible drops in the odometer record. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection. The absence of flagged defects on paper does not preclude wear on consumables like tyres, brake discs, and pads, which degrade naturally with the vehicle's age and mileage. Particular attention should be paid to the condition of suspension components, including bushes, drop links, and coil springs, as these deteriorate over time regardless of test outcomes. A close examination of the underbody and subframes for corrosion is essential, given the car's age, as structural rust can develop between tests. Finally, a test drive is non-negotiable to assess the operation of the clutch, gearbox, and steering for any latent issues not captured during a stationary MOT inspection.
