2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FY15 LRV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing an improving trend in mechanical presentation. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 September 2025 at 93,114 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This represents a clean result following a period of instability where the vehicle failed its two prior tests, suggesting that the current owner has taken action to bring the car up to DVSA standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an 11-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,465 miles per year. Between the August 2023 test at 75,845 miles and the September 2024 test at 85,210 miles, the car covered 9,365 miles in just thirteen months. The subsequent interval of 7,904 miles between the September 2024 and September 2025 tests shows a steady, moderate usage pattern that avoids the risks associated with component degradation from long periods or the excessive wear associated with high-intensity motorway use. While the recent record is clean, the historical failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle is prone to specific mechanical lapses. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushings and braking components to ensure the issues that caused previous failures are not recurring. Given the age of the Insignia, focus on checking for structural corrosion on the sills and exhaust system, as these areas often degrade on this model. Checking for binding calipers or uneven wear on the brake discs will confirm if the recent clean MOT pass reflects a well-maintained braking system.
