2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FH15 OBG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in July 2025 at 124,733 miles showed a pass despite noted wear on both front and rear brake discs and a nearside gearbox oil leak. While the vehicle passed the inspection, the presence of a mechanical leak and thinning brake components suggests that repairs are only addressed once they approach a point of failure or trigger an MOT advisory. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,300 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of 21,738 miles between July 2024 and July 2025, and roughly 10,000 miles between July 2023 and 2024. This regular usage suggests consistent operation rather than long periods of standing, though the high mileage puts significant strain on the Insignia's heavy-duty components, particularly within the drivetrain and suspension assemblies. A buyer must focus closely on the braking system and suspension geometry due to recurring issues. The offside front brake was flagged for binding in July 2023 and the discs were later noted as worn by 2025, indicating potential caliper slider issues or piston seizures. Furthermore, the fractured nearside rear coil spring recorded in 2023 is a common failure point for this model and should be inspected for corrosion or fatigue. The nearside gearbox oil leak noted in 2025 requires a physical inspection to ensure the seal has not progressed, which could lead to internal gearbox failure if fluid levels drop.
