VAUXHALL INSIGNIA2014 · 2.0L Diesel

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent test on 6 March 2026 at 141,079 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available record is stable, showing no mechanical advisories or escalating faults. A fail logged on the same date with no defects suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection quickly rectified by the passing test four years after the prior similar event. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows 126,061 miles on 30 May 2024, rising to 126,159 by 3 June 2024, then 133,881 on 8 March 2025, and 141,079 on 6 March 2026. This equates to roughly 7,200 miles between the last two annual tests, below the lifetime average of 11,757, indicating gentle recent use. The sparse DVSA entries reveal no prolonged gaps in testing and no rapid accumulation that would flag excessive drivetrain stress. Buyers should still commission a physical inspection of core components given the car's age and distance covered. The Insignia's front suspension bushes, coil springs, and anti-roll bar links warrant close examination for fatigue, as does the braking system for disc lip and caliper binding. The tester recorded no corrosion advisories, but structural integrity around sills and subframes should be checked for hidden rust. The repeated fails with zero defects imply previous owners attended to statutory testing promptly rather than neglecting faults. Overall, the documentary history supports a conservatively used vehicle, though in-person verification of consumables remains prudent before purchase.
