2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · WX11 OXD

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 20 June 2022 at 104 053 miles, with only tyre‑wear advisories recorded. The overall roadworthiness is acceptable, but the maintenance trend shows improvement after the multiple failures in 2017 (side repeater insecurity, oil leak, extensive tyre run‑off) and the 2021 ply‑exposure failure. By 2022 the car was free of major defects, yet tyre condition remains a persistent issue, indicating ongoing wear rather than a resolved problem. Mileage accumulation has been steady throughout the car’s life. From 32 530 miles in March 2014 the odometer rose to 46 576 miles in March 2015 (+14 k), 57 661 miles in March 2016 (+11 k), 67 072 miles in March 2017 (+9 k), 88 791 miles in July 2020 (+22 k), 97 331 miles in July 2021 (+8.5 k) and finally 104 053 miles in June 2022 (+6.7 k). The average increase of roughly 7 000 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a 15‑year‑old vehicle. The record shows a gap for 2018‑2019, suggesting limited MOT history during those years. A buyer should inspect the tyres first. The 2022 test flagged front nearside and offside tyres worn close to the legal limit and edge wear; the 2021 failure noted ply exposure on the nearside front tyre, so tread depth and cord integrity must be verified. The 2017 oil leak requires checking the engine bay for residue and confirming no active leakage. The side repeater insecurity from 2017 warrants a secure mounting check. Windscreen damage (a sub‑40 mm area outside zone A) should be examined for impact on visibility. Fitted under‑trays and engine covers observed in 2015/2017 may hide underside corrosion, so a thorough underside walk‑around is essential. Finally, while brakes have not been flagged, the tyre wear pattern suggests possible alignment or suspension bush wear; a test drive and suspension inspection should confirm steering stability and brake performance.
