VAUXHALL INSIGNIA2014 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-29 at 129,110 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this followed a failed test on 2025-07-28 at the same mileage, which also listed no defects. This inconsistency suggests either a procedural error or a potential oversight in the testing process. The prior tests from 2022 to 2024 show a stable pattern, with all passing at increasing mileages up to 129,110. No recurring mechanical issues or structural concerns were flagged in the recorded history, indicating the car has met basic roadworthiness standards over the past four years. The vehicle’s mileage of 129,110 miles aligns with an average annual usage of ~10,759 miles, consistent with its 12-year age. MOT records show regular testing intervals of approximately 12 months, with no significant gaps or sudden spikes in mileage accumulation. The absence of defects in all but the most recent test (which was resolved) implies no major systemic failures. However, the back-to-back pass and fail at identical mileage raises questions about the reliability of the final assessment, warranting further scrutiny. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, as these are common wear points on vehicles of this age. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, given the lack of specific defect reports. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be examined for rust or damage, as these are often overlooked in MOT tests. While the record shows no critical issues, the recent test anomaly underscores the importance of a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
