2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · KN02 RTN

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-02 recorded multiple tyre-related defects, including five tyres worn close to legal limits with edge damage, one rear tyre with cracking, and a nail in the offside rear tyre. These issues suggest ongoing tyre wear and potential neglect in maintenance. The vehicle’s 102,842-mile odometer aligns with its 13-year age, averaging 7,911 miles annually—typical for this model and age. No major mechanical failures were recorded in this test, but the repeated tyre issues indicate a persistent risk of reduced grip, uneven wear, or sudden failure. A pattern of tyre wear has persisted since 2022, with nearly all MOTs from 2023 onward flagging at least one tyre near the legal limit. The 2023 MOT included a failed coil spring, a more serious defect, but this was not repeated in later tests. The 2025 MOT shows an increase in tyre-related issues compared to 2024 and 2023, suggesting either worsening tyre condition or stricter enforcement of wear limits. However, the absence of recurring suspension, brake, or drivetrain defects implies the vehicle’s core mechanical systems remain functional. The mileage trend does not strongly indicate heavy use or prolonged inactivity. At 7,911 miles per year, the vehicle has likely been driven regularly but not excessively.
