2015 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FP65 XNJ

The vehicle fails its most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 due to a single inoperative registration‑plate lamp (4.7.1(b)(ii)). No other defects were recorded, and the preceding test on the same day passed with no defects, indicating a stable overall condition despite the minor failure. At 210,395 miles the car averages roughly 19,127 miles per year, a figure that reflects heavy use for an 11‑year‑old model. Mileage has risen steadily from 65,570 miles in November 2018 to 210,395 miles by November 2025, with notable jumps such as the increase from 115,505 miles in November 2022 to 193,321 miles in November 2023 and the subsequent rise to 201,963 miles in November 2024. These increments suggest consistent annual usage rather than long periods of standing. The historical record flags several repeatable issues: the registration‑plate lamp has failed twice, off‑side and nearside front tyres have shown edge wear close to the legal limit, and brake components have been noted as worn – front brake pads were under 1.5 mm in November 2018, and front brake discs have been recorded as worn with a lip in 2019 and again in 2025. The record also notes a slightly frayed off‑side front seat‑belt and minor denting of the outer sills, indicating past impact damage. A prospective buyer should therefore examine the lamp wiring and replace the bulb if necessary, measure tyre tread depth and inspect for uneven wear that may indicate alignment problems, and assess brake pad thickness and disc condition for excessive wear or scoring. The condition of the seat‑belt webbing and the integrity of the outer sills should also be checked for signs of impact damage or corrosion that could affect structural rigidity.
