2018 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DV18 AEU

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 8 September 2025 at 97,964 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2022, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance that has kept the car free of common mechanical failures. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. There was a notable increase in usage between September 2023 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 79,986 to 90,209 miles. Despite this heavy road use, the absence of any flagged defects across five consecutive tests indicates the previous owner addressed wear and tear before it reached a failure threshold. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high mileage wear items that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they are critical. Specifically, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components naturally degrade under the stress of nearly 100,000 miles. Inspect the brake discs for lip wear and the tyres for uneven tread patterns, which could indicate alignment issues common in high mileage Insignias. The lack of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the record is a positive indicator of the vehicle's overall integrity. Given the clean history, the primary risk is simply the age and mileage of the drivetrain components. A manual check of the oil condition and a test drive to assess gearbox smoothness will complement the existing data.
