2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · SC15 PKD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on 7 May 2026 at 115,828 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The car failed just one day prior due to a major exhaust leak at the front flex joint. While this specific defect was rectified to secure the pass, the history of a minor middle box leak in 2024 suggests the previous owner only addressed exhaust components once they reached a point of failure. The mileage profile is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage intervals, moving from 84,007 miles in April 2023 to 94,827 miles in May 2024, and reaching 104,953 miles by April 2025. This regular accumulation suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which generally prevents the degradation of rubber components and seals, though it accelerates wear on mechanical parts. A buyer should specifically inspect the entire exhaust system to ensure the recent repair at the flex joint is sound and that further corrosion is not progressing toward the catalytic converter. The 2024 advisory regarding front tyres wearing on the inside edges indicates a likely alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. A physical inspection of the front suspension geometry and control arm bushings is necessary to ensure this uneven wear has not caused lasting damage. Given the mileage, a thorough check of brake disc thickness and caliper condition is also warranted, as no specific brake defects were flagged in the most recent tests.
