2015 Vauxhall Cascada 2.0L Diesel · PL65 RMZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding neglected consumable upkeep. While it passed its latest test in February 2026 at 91,757 miles, the tester flagged multiple significant advisories concerning tyre condition. The nearside rear, offside front, and nearside front tyres are all reaching the 3mm limit with uneven wear patterns, suggesting a failure to address alignment issues or replace worn rubber. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap of over 7,000 miles between the September 2024 and February 2026 tests, which aligns with the rapid degradation of the tyres noted in the most recent report. The clean records from 2022 and 2024 indicate periods of relative stability, but the recent cluster of defects suggests the current owner is performing only reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative maintenance. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking systems due to previous failures. The September 2022 test failed due to a fractured offside rear coil spring and an ABS warning lamp. While these were repaired to pass, the uneven tyre wear on three corners recorded in 2026 indicates that underlying suspension geometry issues or worn bushes may still be causing accelerated component failure. The buyer should also verify that the ABS fault remains cleared and check for signs of premature bushing wear or corrosion on the brake discs and calipers.
