2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FH15 RYZ

The 2015 Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent test on 27 November 2025 at 202,534 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. While the history shows two failed tests in 2023 and 2024, both occurred at virtually identical mileages to their subsequent passes just days later, suggesting minor, swiftly rectified issues rather than chronic mechanical failures. The absence of recurring advisories or major defects points to a vehicle that has been kept in a thoroughly roadworthy state by its recent keepers. The mileage accumulation tells a story of intense, sustained use. Between the November 2023 test at 160,548 miles and the November 2024 test at 179,048 miles, the Insignia covered 18,500 miles in exactly twelve months. This annual distance is significantly above the national average and confirms the vehicle has lived a hard life on motorways and major A-roads. Such high mileage accelerates the wear on consumables, suspension bushes, and drivetrain components, meaning the current clean MOT reflects a vehicle that has been actively maintained to cope with this demanding usage rather than one that has been sitting idle. Given the 202,534 miles on the clock, a prospective buyer must look beyond the pristine MOT printout and inspect the physical condition of high-wear items. Check the coil springs and suspension bushes for signs of fatigue or cracking, as high-mileage Insignias often suffer from premature bushing deterioration. Examine the brake discs and pads for lipping and wear, alongside checking the condition of the tyres for uneven wear patterns that could indicate tracking issues. The exhaust system warrants a close visual inspection for corrosion, particularly around the flexi-joint and mounting points. Although the tester flagged no structural rust in the recent tests, the sheer volume of miles driven demands a thorough underside inspection to verify the structural integrity of the subframes and suspension mounting points before committing to a purchase.
