2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Petrol · LT10 EFF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 127,573 miles passed with only an advisory for an offside rear tyre worn to the legal limit. This follows a recurring pattern of tyre-related issues that are only addressed after a failure or an immediate advisory, suggesting the owner tends to defer consumable replacements until they necessitate action. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 92,150 miles and August 2025 at 127,573 miles, the car covered 35,000 miles, representing a steady rate of use. There are no significant gaps in testing to suggest long periods of inactivity, though the jump of 8,700 miles between the two 2023 tests highlights a period where the vehicle failed due to a nearside front tyre being below legal limits. A buyer must personally inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the repeated advisories for tyres worn on the edge in 2022, 2023, and 2025 strongly point toward worn bushes or incorrect tracking. The 2022 record noted pitted and scored brake discs on the rear axle, which indicates the system is prone to corrosion or neglect. Given the age of this Insignia, a thorough structural check is also required, as the MOT record does not account for emerging rust on the sills or subframes, which are common for this model as it approaches higher mileage.
