2015 Vauxhall Insignia 1.8L Petrol · LM15 TJO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent MOT in November 2025 at 119,076 miles resulted in a pass, the car failed just thirteen miles prior due to a major exhaust flexi-pipe leak that prevented an emissions test. The trend suggests the owner only addresses critical mechanical faults, such as the exhaust, lighting, and wiper assembly, immediately upon a test failure rather than maintaining the vehicle during the service interval. At 119,076 miles over 11 years, the Insignia averages approximately 10,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for its age. The data shows consistent usage, with roughly 8,700 miles covered between February 2024 and November 2024 tests, and another 8,000 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This steady mileage indicates the car has not sat idle for long periods, but also means standard wear on rubber components and mechanical seals. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system and engine seals, as the recurring mention of an oil leak and the recent major flexi-pipe failure indicate ongoing degradation. The record also notes a binding offside front service brake at 102,359 miles; although not flagged recently, this area should be checked to ensure the caliper is not sticking or causing uneven wear. Furthermore, the frequent flagging of tyres reaching the legal limit across multiple axles and years suggests the owner delays replacement until they are failing, necessitating a thorough check of the remaining tread and age of all four tyres.
