2019 Vauxhall Insignia 1.5L Petrol · SO68 ALS

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 26 March 2026 at 58,414 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent neglect regarding consumable components, as evidenced by a failure just ten days prior on 16 March 2026. That failure highlighted multiple issues, including a defective nearside headlamp lens, incorrect beam aim, and three tyres failing on tread depth or edge wear. While the vehicle passed the subsequent retest, the transition from a clean 2024 record to multiple tyre and lighting failures in 2026 suggests a shift toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical usage pattern for a seven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 58,414 miles, averaging roughly 8,345 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 19,241 miles in March 2022 to 35,097 miles in February 2024, followed by a more significant jump to 44,588 miles in February 2025. The most recent interval between February 2025 and March 2026 shows an increase of nearly 14,000 miles, indicating a recent period of higher-than-average usage. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyre condition and wheel alignment. The 2026 failure specifically noted a nearside rear tyre worn on the edge, which often indicates underlying suspension geometry issues or worn bushes rather than simple tread depletion. Given the headlamp aim failure, the lighting system and any potential mounting bracket damage should be verified. Although the 2022 record noted thin rear brake pads, the subsequent clean tests suggest these were replaced, but a manual check of the braking system and disc surface remains advisable to ensure no new binding or uneven wear has developed.
