2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · SR15 LXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in March 2026 at 110,275 miles, the failure just one day prior revealed significant mechanical neglect. The presence of a serious fluid leak on the offside rear shock absorber and an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) at 110,270 miles suggests that the owner only addressed faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern of 110,275 miles over eleven years aligns closely with the average UK driving profile of approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation, with 14,900 miles covered between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 12,685 miles covered in the final year. This consistent usage suggests the car is driven regularly, which generally helps prevent component seizure from standing, but the high mileage places significant stress on the Insiania's suspension and drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front geometry, as the record shows recurring inner edge tyre wear on both front corners at 82,692 miles. This indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that likely continues to degrade new tyres. The recent shock absorber failure at 110,270 miles requires verification that the pair has been replaced to ensure vehicle stability and safety. Furthermore, the previously inoperative MIL in March 2026 is a critical red flag; if the engine management system was not properly diagnosed and cleared, it could mask underlying engine faults or emissions issues that will lead to expensive repairs.
