2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · TS14 LEY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 5, 2026, at 93,812 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. The car failed inspection just one month prior in April 2026 due to critical safety failures involving four tyres with structural tears or insufficient tread depth, alongside an insecure arch liner. This suggests the previous owner only addressed defects when forced to by an MOT failure, rather than performing routine inspections or preventative replacements between tests. At 93,812 miles, this eleven-year-old Insignia averages approximately 8,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a family road car. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 8,500 miles driven between the April 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 5,000 miles between April 2025 and May 2026. While the low mileage suggests less overall wear on the drivetrain, the frequency of failures indicates that consumables and basic safety items are being neglected until the point of failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and engine health. The April 2025 failure flagged imbalanced front brakes with an offside slow reading, indicating potential sticking calipers or uneven pad wear that requires attention. The record also notes high exhaust emissions and a non-excessive oil leak, which suggests the engine may be showing signs of carbon buildup or seal degradation. Given the recent structural failure of the tyres, verify the age and quality of the current set to ensure they are not low-quality replacements that will fail prematurely prematurely.
