2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FH15 HWY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 139,121 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just two days prior for multiple distinct defects. The trend shows a recurring issue with suspension components and tyre condition, which were addressed only after the vehicle was flagged during official inspections. This suggests that the previous owner only attended to mechanical faults when they resulted in an MOT failure. At 139,121 miles over eleven years, this Insignia has covered an average of approximately 12,600 miles per year. This represents consistent high-mile usage, evidenced by the 6,558 miles driven between June 2023 and July 2024, and another 5,816 miles between July 2024 and July 2025. Such high mileage places significant stress on rubber-based suspension components and drivetrain assemblies, which aligns with the repeated failures of suspension arm bushes and coil springs. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry. The record specifically flagged the nearside rear upper suspension arm bush in 2025 and the nearside front upper arm bush in 2023. Given that the offside rear coil spring also fractured in 2023, the entire corner assembly should be checked for play, excessive movement, or uneven wear. The failure of the tyre pressure monitoring system in the July 2025 test also indicates an electronic sensor-related fault that needs to be verified as rectified and functional. The history also highlights a disregard for tyre perishing and damage, noted in both 2023 and 2025. This indicates that tyres are being left beyond their optimal life or subjected to impact without being replaced. A physical inspection should check all four sidewalls for cracking and ensure the remaining tread depth is sufficient, as the high-mileage nature of the vehicle likely consumes these components rapidly.
