2009 Vauxhall Insignia 1.8L Petrol · CJ03 ABY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted in December 2025 at 74,289 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum legal standards. While a failure occurred in November 2024 at 69,763 miles, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults without letting them persist. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,370 miles per year. Between November 2022 and December 2025, the car covered 14,187 miles, maintaining a consistent usage rate of roughly 4,700 miles annually. This low-frequency use pattern typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, though such low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from the degradation of rubber-based components such as seals, bushes, and suspension hoses if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on components prone to age rather than just mileage stress. Given the vehicle's age, a buyer must check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches, where Vauxhall Insignias are known to develop rust. Inspect the suspension bushes for signs of cracking or perished perished as low mileage does not prevent material fatigue over two decades. While the recent records show no brake issues, testing the system for binding calipers or pitted discs is advisable to ensure the low usage has not caused the braking hardware to seize.
