2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DL11 ABK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-08 at 158,246 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the same date shows a failed test with no defects noted, which is anomalous and may reflect administrative error or a technical issue not captured in the record. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed without defects, suggesting a generally consistent maintenance pattern. The absence of critical failures in recent years implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the duplicate entry for 2025-09-08 warrants further clarification. The mileage of 158,246 miles over 15 years aligns with an average of 10,550 miles annually, typical for a vehicle of this age. Tests are spaced approximately 12 months apart, with no significant gaps or sudden mileage spikes. The 2024-08-27 failure at 146,719 miles and subsequent pass in September 2024 at 146,736 miles suggest minor issues resolved quickly, though no specific defects were logged. The record lacks detailed fault descriptions, which limits insight into underlying mechanical trends but does not inherently signal neglect. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for wear, as these are common failure points in older cars. Structural integrity, including rust or corrosion, is also critical, as the vehicle’s age increases the risk of metal fatigue. While the MOT history shows no major defects, the lack of detailed records means a hands-on inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
