2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · LO63 EFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in May 2026 at 116,816 miles, it had failed just a month prior due to missing front wheel fixings and worn suspension components. The presence of thin rear brake pads and perishing tyres on the passing certificate suggests that consumables are only being addressed when they reach the point of failure, a pattern of minimum-level upkeep. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year. There was a significant gap of 10,513 miles between February 2024 and April 2025, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 12,354 miles in the final fourteen months leading up to the 2026 test. This increase in usage correlates with the accelerated wear seen on rubber-based components and braking systems, as evidenced by the fractured coil springs and cracking tyres noted in the later stages of the record history. A buyer must inspect the rear suspension geometry closely, as both rear coil springs failed in February 2024 at 93,947 miles, which is a known weakness for this model. The buyer should also verify that the recently replaced front wheel fixings have not caused vibration-related damage. The recorded oil leak noted in May 2026 requires a physical underbody inspection to determine if it is a minor valve cover leak or a more significant seal failure. Furthermore, the perishing of the rear tyres indicates they are likely aged regardless of any remaining tread, necessitating immediate replacement to ensure lateral safety.
