2015 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DY64 AAV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-07 at 172,055 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, but the same date also shows a FAIL entry with no defects noted, indicating potential data inconsistency. Previous tests from 2024-04-20 (167,314 miles) and 2024-02-05 (167,279 miles) were PASS with no defects, while the 2023-11-16 test at 172,055 miles failed without recorded issues. The lack of defect details across multiple tests suggests either minimal mechanical concerns or incomplete reporting. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no escalating issues flagged, though the 2023 failure and repeated testing at similar mileages raise questions about the vehicle’s reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 172,055 miles at 11 years old equates to approximately 15,641 miles annually, significantly higher than average for its age. This rapid accumulation implies frequent use, which could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and suspension components. Notably, the 2023-11-16 test and the 2025-04-07 test both recorded 172,055 miles, suggesting a possible data entry error or prolonged inactivity, which might indicate periods of neglect. The absence of structural or mechanical defects in the MOT history is positive, but high mileage at this age necessitates closer scrutiny of critical systems. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the vehicle was driven in harsh conditions. Additionally, the exhaust system and body corrosion warrant attention, as these components are prone to degradation over time. While the MOT records show no immediate red flags, the vehicle’s age and mileage demand a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical integrity.
