2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · YP11 ADU

The 2022‑11‑30 MOT at 87,135 miles passed, yet the tester noted a severely deteriorated near‑side front anti‑roll bar ball‑joint dust cover and rear tyres worn close to the legal limit. This is the latest entry in a record that increasingly flags rear‑suspension wear, indicating a worsening trend rather than stability. The vehicle is fifteen years old with 87,135 miles, averaging about 5,800 miles per year, a figure that is low for its age and suggests long periods of inactivity. Mileage jumps from 58,130 miles in May 2018 to 64,218 miles in May 2019, then to 71,686 miles in December 2020, to 74,741 miles in November 2021, and finally to 87,135 miles in November 2022, showing a recent acceleration of use. A buyer should inspect the rear anti‑roll bar ball joint and its dust cover for cracks or missing material, check the tyre tread depth and edge wear for signs of mis‑alignment or worn bushings, and verify that the rear brakes do not bind. Also look for water ingress in the OSF headlight, examine the rear tyres for perishing, and search for any structural rust on the chassis or sub‑frames. Given the recurring faults on suspension components and tyre wear, a careful in‑person evaluation of these areas will reveal whether deferred maintenance has progressed to a point that compromises roadworthiness.
