2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · SA13 DPY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of neglected tyre management. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 106,420 miles passed, it returned multiple advisories for three tyres being near the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This follows a failure in February 2025 where the rear pair failed due to deep cuts reaching the cords, indicating a recurring failure to address obvious safety defects. The mileage profile is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,200 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 6,500 miles between February 2025 and February 2026, and another 3,100 miles between January 2024 and February 2025. This regular usage suggests the car does not suffer from long periods of standing, yet the nature of the recorded faults suggests the owner only replaces components when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and alignment settings. The repeated advisories for inner-edge wear in both 2024 and 2026 strongly suggest worn wish arm bushes, faulty struts, or incorrect camber settings. You should also inspect the remaining tyres for any further sidewall damage or perished rubber, as the history shows a tendency to ignore tyre degradation until it becomes critical. Given the age and mileage, a check for structural corrosion on the rear arches and underbody is also necessary to ensure the integrity of the chassis remains sound.
