2018 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DV18 ABK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-04-02 at 115,563 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2025-04-10 (90,652 miles) and 2024-12-04 (82,563 miles) also showed no issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. The single failure on 2024-02-12 at 63,622 miles was noted as “no defects recorded,” which may reflect a technicality or minor non-roadworthy issue resolved before retesting. Overall, the absence of recurring mechanical faults implies the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The mileage of 115,563 miles over eight years equates to an average of 14,445 miles annually, exceeding typical usage for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history include a 10,000-mile jump between 2024-02-12 (63,622 miles) and 2024-12-04 (82,563 miles), followed by a 8,131-mile increase by 2025-04-10. These rapid accumulations suggest heavy usage, which could accelerate wear on components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The lack of advisories or defects in recent tests does not preclude hidden deterioration, particularly in high-mileage scenarios. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which may exhibit play or uneven wear under high mileage. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as these can develop with frequent use. Structural integrity remains unaddressed in the MOT records, so a thorough underbody inspection for rust or corrosion is advised. While the vehicle meets legal standards, its high mileage and usage pattern necessitate a detailed mechanical check to confirm continued reliability.
