2018 Vauxhall Insignia 1.5L Petrol · DV18 AGU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 7 August 2025 at 113,596 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained sufficiently to avoid recurring failures. The mileage pattern reflects high annual usage, averaging approximately 14,200 miles per year over the eight-year period. A significant surge in usage occurred between August 2022 and August 2023, where the vehicle covered 24,621 miles in a single year. Since then, the accumulation has stabilised at a high rate, roughly 13,000 miles between the 2023 tests and another 2,238 miles between the two most recent tests. This high mileage suggests frequent motorway driving, which typically places less strain on the clutch than stop-and-start city traffic. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems most affected by this high mileage. While the MOT record is currently clean, the transition past 100,000 miles increases the likelihood of worn suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Inspect the vehicle for uneven tyre wear or signs of scoring on brake discs. Given the brief failure in August 2023 at 98,138 miles, though no specific defects were listed, verify that any repairs made at that time were properly addressed and have not resurfaced.
