2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FP60 WHM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on June 15, 2026 at 83,607 miles passed with an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit and unevenly. This follows a similar advisory in July 2024 at 69,183 miles, where both front tyres were flagged for excessive wear. While the car consistently passes its tests, the recurring tyre issues suggest the owner only addresses consumable components when they approach failure thresholds. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,225 miles per year. There is a significant gap of over 8,000 miles recorded between July 2024 and June 2025, and another 6,300-mile stretch between June 2025 and 2026. This low annual usage often leads to degradation of rubber components, such as seals and bushings, particularly if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. The lack of defects in the 2025 test indicates a period of mechanical stability, but the low mileage does not exempt the vehicle from age-related wear. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension geometry and shock absorbers. The March 2023 test at 63,097 miles failed due to a serious fluid leak on the nearside rear shock absorber and light misting on the offside unit. Although this was rectified, the recurring uneven edge wear on the front tyres in more recent tests indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been fully resolved. You should also check for corrosion on the chassis and subframe, as these are common failure points for Insignias of this era regardless of recorded mileage.
