2018 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DV18 AEB

This Vauxhall Insignia presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent test on 5 November 2025 at 88,181 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to July 2022, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and kept in a condition that meets DVSA requirements without the need for corrective work between tests. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between July 2022 and November 2025, the odometer rose from 57,298 to 88,181 miles, averaging roughly 10,600 miles per year. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or prolonged periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden drivetrain issues. The record shows a failure on 26 July 2022, though the immediate pass on the same day without listed defects suggests a minor administrative or quickly rectified fault. Because the MOT history is devoid of recurring advisories, there are no specific mechanical trends to worry about. The absence of mentions regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions indicates a healthy vehicle. However, a buyer should still conduct a physical check of the consumables. Given the 12,000-mile annual average, the tyres and brake pads will be nearing the end of their natural life cycle if they have not been replaced since the 75,980-mile mark in August 2024. A physical inspection should focus on the chassis and wheel arches for surface corrosion, as the MOT record does not explicitly detail the underside condition beyond the pass criteria. Checking the service history for oil changes and timing belt intervals is recommended to complement this clean MOT record, as the DVSA tests do not verify internal engine health or fluid quality.
