2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · YF15 KBN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status with an improving maintenance trend following a period of reactive neglect. The most recent test on 28 May 2026 at 132,729 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This represents a significant shift from the failures seen in 2023, suggesting the current ownership has recently moved to rectify outstanding faults. The mileage pattern reflects consistent high-intensity use, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per year over eleven years of life. Between June 2023 and May 2026, the vehicle covered 16,902 miles, showing a steady accumulation of roughly 5,600 miles annually in that window. High mileage often correlates with accelerated wear on components such as suspension and braking hardware. The regular intervals between MOT tests suggest the car is in regular use, though the high total mileage places greater strain on the drivetrain and chassis-related components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension and braking system, given the history of component failure. The June 2023 failure highlighted a fractured offside rear coil spring and thin rear brake pads and discs; while these were likely replaced, the buyer should check for signs of sagging springs or uneven wear on the remaining components. The 2024 advisories regarding perished and cracked tyres on both front axles indicate that rubber may be failing from age rather than just tread depth. Verify the current condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not again showing signs of cracking.
