2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · LT15 CWG

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a clean MOT history over its recent testing cycle, with the most recent examination on 19 March 2026 at 108,645 miles showing no defects—an outcome mirrored in the three preceding passes from March 2025 and April 2024. The sole failure in April 2024, recorded at just 86,841 miles, is an anomaly with no faults logged, suggesting either a clerical error or a test conducted immediately after a repair. This consistency indicates stable roadworthiness, with no recurring advisories or defects to suggest deteriorating maintenance. The absence of corrosion-related failures or structural advisories further supports that the vehicle has been kept in sound condition, at least from a regulatory standpoint. Mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for its age, averaging around 9,877 miles per year over the past decade. The gap between the 2023 test (74,318 miles) and the 2024 retest (86,844 miles) suggests a period of lighter use or a delay in testing, though the subsequent 12-month intervals remain steady. The 2024 failure at 86,841 miles—just three miles before the pass—hints at a possible administrative oversight rather than a mechanical issue, as no defects were recorded in either outcome. This pattern implies the vehicle has not been subjected to excessive wear, though the lack of advisories could also reflect minimal pre-test servicing by previous owners. For a prospective buyer, the absence of MOT advisories reduces immediate concerns, but a thorough pre-purchase inspection should still verify key wear items. Pay particular attention to suspension components—specifically the condition of coil springs, anti-roll bars, and bushings—given their tendency to degrade over time without obvious symptoms. Brake system integrity is critical; check for uneven wear on discs and pads, binding calipers, or fluid leaks, especially since the MOT history offers no insight into brake condition. Structural corrosion, while not flagged, should be inspected beneath sills, wheel arches, and around the rear trailing arms, as rust can compromise safety long before it appears in an MOT. Finally, given the clean test records, the vehicle may have been stored or used intermittently, so fluid levels, battery health, and tyre age should be confirmed as part of due diligence.
