2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · LO11 CZF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor pattern of reactive electrical and lighting rectifications. The most recent test in December 2025 indicates the car passed with two minor defects related to the offside rear registration plate and position lamps. While the vehicle consistently passes without major failures, the recurrence of lighting issues suggests that the owner addresses faults only when prompted by an inspection rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of miles between tests, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between October 2023 and December 2024, and another 10,000 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regular usage suggests the car is not sitting idle, which is generally beneficial for the rubber components and seals, despite the relatively low annual mileage. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension, specifically noting the 2022 advisory regarding modified artwork springs with different parts fitted on each side. This is a significant mechanical concern that can affect vehicle handling, stability, and uneven tyre wear. Given the age and the history of an oil filter housing leak noted in a previous test, the engine bay should be checked for active weeping to ensure the past leak has not worsened beyond a minor level. Furthermore, the history of headlamp aim failures and discoloured indicators suggests that the plastic housings and wiring may be becoming brittle or degraded. The purchaser should verify that all external lighting is currently functioning correctly and check for signs of corrosion on the underbody, as while no structural rust was noted in the recent records, the age and model of Insignia demand a thorough look at the chassis and brake lines.
