2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · KF15 LGZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear shift toward deferred consumable repairs. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 91,050 miles, it failed just six weeks prior at 90,944 miles. This sudden transition from a clean record in 2025 to multiple failures involving lighting, tyres, and suspension suggests the current owner is only addressing the minimum requirements necessary to pass the MOT test rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 11,835 miles between August 2023 and July 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 11,476 miles between July 2024 and April 2026. This recent increase in usage over twenty twenty months correlates with the appearance of several mechanical defects, particularly the accelerated wear on the braking system and tyre components noted in the latest advisories. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension closely, as the tester flagged insecure shock absorber shrouds in both the March and April 2026 tests. This indicates a potential failure of the mounting hardware or boots which requires attention before it worsens. The braking system shows a recurring history of neglect, with pads noted as thin in 2024 and discs now flagged as worn in early 2026. Given that the discs are reaching the lower limit of their effective thickness, a full replacement of the rear brake discs and pads is likely imminent. The tyres represent another immediate cost, with three out nearing the legal limit and showing signs of uneven wear or perishing. The edge wear mentioned in the record suggests a possible alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that could exacerbate the premature degradation of new rubber. Verify the structural integrity of the chassis for corrosion, although the MOT history has not yet highlighted any structural failures, the general state of neglected components warrants a thorough underbody inspection.
