2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · MA12 TYP

This 2015 Vauxhall Insignia has a typical mileage profile for its age, suggesting regular use without excessive wear or long periods of standing. However, the recent MOT history indicates a clear downward trend in mechanical condition. The most recent test in January 2026 saw a failure and subsequent pass, but it highlighted several emerging issues. The vehicle is now showing signs of age-related degradation across the chassis and drivetrain, specifically with worn front suspension bushes and a severely deteriorated inner CV boot. A recurring pattern of neglected consumables is evident. Over the last few years, there have been repeated advisories for worn tyres and thinning brake pads and discs. The shift from simple tyre and brake wear in 2024 and 2025 to suspension and drivetrain deterioration in 2026 suggests that maintenance is becoming reactive rather than preventative. The condition is worsening, as the faults are moving from basic wear-and-tear items to more structural and mechanical components. A buyer should first inspect the front suspension for play and check the condition of the CV boots. It is also essential to verify if the rear brake discs and suspension bushes mentioned in the latest MOT have been replaced or if they remain as advisories, as these will require imminent attention.
