2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FV11 WGD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in March 2024 at 152,690 miles passed with no recorded defects, the records reveal a history of neglecting consumable items until they reach failure points. The trend has stabilized since a significant failure in early 2022, but the previous data suggests the owner typically only addresses faults when necessitated by an MOT failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The record shows steady growth from 41,298 miles in 2014 to over 152,000 miles in 2024. There is a notable gap in testing between February 2021 and February 2022, where the car covered over 8,000 miles in just twelve months. This period of use coincides with the heavy wear observed on the braking and suspension components recorded during that time. A buyer should closely inspect the suspension and braking system due to recurring issues in these areas. The February 2022 failure highlighted a fractured nearside rear coil spring and imbalanced rear brakes, alongside worn pads and multiple tyre-related defects. Given the history of thin brake pads and low fluid levels dating back to 2014, a physical check of the brake system for leaks or uneven wear is essential. The previous mention of inner-edge tyre wear in 2021 also indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushings that should be verified to prevent premature tyre degradation.
