2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DL14 ACO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-02 at 102,411 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. This outcome, combined with a prior failure on 2025-03-01 at 92,247 miles (same mileage as a subsequent pass on the same date), suggests inconsistent testing outcomes. The 2024-05-15 test at 86,120 miles passed without issues, indicating a stable period. However, the lack of defect details in the latest failure and the repeated 2025-03-01 entries complicate trend analysis. Overall, the maintenance history shows no clear pattern of worsening or improvement, but the recent failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 102,411 miles over 12 years aligns with an average of 8,534 miles annually, reflecting typical usage. The 2022-12-15 test at 75,451 miles passed without issues, followed by a 2024-05-15 pass at 86,120 miles, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, the 2025-03-01 failure at 92,247 miles—repeated on the same date—raises questions about testing accuracy or potential unresolved issues. The 2026-03-02 failure at 102,411 miles, just four months prior to the current date, indicates a possible decline in roadworthiness, though without defect specifics, this remains speculative. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points on this model. The exhaust system and brake components, including calipers and discs, should also be checked for corrosion or binding, as these are frequent issues in vehicles of this age. The absence of recorded defects in earlier tests does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection, as the recent failure suggests undiagnosed concerns. Structural integrity and tyre condition should also be verified, given the high mileage and potential for long-term wear.
