2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · SAZ 1005

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive repairs regarding consumables. While the most recent test in September 2025 at 93,623 miles resulted in a pass, it revealed perished outer edges on both front tyres. This follows a recurring pattern seen in January 2025 where both front tyres were flagged as being worn to the legal limit. The data suggests the owner replaces components only they approach failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage progression is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 2,520 miles between January 2023 and January 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 4,000 miles in the eight months leading up to the 2025 test. This indicates the vehicle has seen regular use recently, which is generally beneficial for mechanical components like seals and brake calipers to prevent the type of corrosion or seizing often associated with long periods of stationary use. A physical inspection must focus on the braking system and suspension geometry. The January 2025 test identified a binding nearside rear service brake and fluctuating rear service brakes, which often indicates a sticking caliper piston or corroded slider pins. Furthermore, the repeated uneven wear on the front tyres and the offside rear inner tyre suggests potential issues with wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should also verify that the tyre pressure monitoring system, which caused a failure in early 2024, has been properly rectified and is functioning correctly.
