2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · SB60 CNF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend of deferred repairs regarding wear items. While it passed its most recent test in early June 2026 at 102,167 miles, it failed just eleven days prior with a significant list of defects. The transition from a clean record in 2025 to a multi-point failure in 2026 suggests that the owner is only addressing mechanical issues when forced by an MOT failure, rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 102,167 miles over 16 years, the car averages approximately 6,385 miles per year, which is consistent with low-average-use patterns. However, the data shows a sharp spike in usage between June 2025 (82,415 miles) and June 2026 (102,167 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 20,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation likely explains the sudden degradation of the tyres and the accelerated wear on suspension components noted in the most recent failure report. A physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity of the subframe and the progression of the noted corrosion. The June 2026 record identifies corrosion on the rear subframe mounting areas and both coil springs, which are common failure points on this model that can lead to structural collapse if left untreated. The persistent front oil leak, noted across multiple recent tests, should be monitored to determine if it is a minor seal leak or a more significant engine-related gasket failure. The suspension system requires close attention due to recurring reports of worn arm bushes across all four corners. The uneven tyre wear on multiple axles suggests an alignment issue or worn shock absorbers. A buyer should also verify that the corroded offside front power steering pipe has been replaced, as these hoses are prone to sudden failure. Given the history of pitted brake discs and worn tyres, the entire braking system and consumable components merit a thorough evaluation before purchase.
