2015 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · YP65 SZR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The latest test in September 2025 at 79,132 miles identified multiple immediate issues including a coolant leak, thin front brake pads, and poor tyre condition. While the car passed, the presence of these distinct advisories in a single visit suggests that components are only being addressed when they reach a point of failure rather than during routine service intervals. The mileage pattern remains consistent, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year over the eleven-year period. Between the September 2022 test at 66,354 miles and the 2025 test at 79,132 miles, the vehicle covered 12,778 miles. This relatively low annual usage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, but the low frequency of use can accelerate age in rubber-based components and dry seals, which aligns with the coolant leak and suspension issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the cooling system due to the coolant leak flagged in the 2025 record, as these leaks can lead to engine overheating if left unmanaged. The history also shows a recurring pattern of brake component wear, with thin offside rear pads noted in 2023 and thin front pads noted in 2025. The suspension should be checked for signs of further wear following the fractured offside rear coil spring that caused a failure in 2023, as such failures often place uneven stress on adjacent components. The frequent mentions of tyres worn on the edges across 2022 and 2025 indicate a potential alignment issue or chronic neglect that requires professional verification.
