2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · KM64 BVA

The Vauxhall Insignia’s most recent MOT test on 2025-10-27 at 142,040 miles passed without defects, marking the third consecutive annual pass. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three years, with no recurring advisories or failures to indicate deteriorating maintenance. The 2025 failure on 2025-10-24 at 142,023 miles—just three days prior—was unusually brief, as no defects were recorded, which may imply a minor administrative oversight rather than a mechanical issue. The consistency of annual testing without failings points to either disciplined servicing or a vehicle that has remained mechanically resilient for its age. Mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 11,800 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests, and the recorded mileage increments are uniform, suggesting the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of disuse. The absence of advisories or defects across all tests also implies that basic maintenance—such as tyre tread checks, brake inspections, and emissions compliance—has likely been consistently addressed. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and steering linkages, as these are common failure points in vehicles of this age and mileage. The brakes, particularly the rear calipers and discs, should be examined for uneven wear or binding, as the 2025 failure—though unexplained—could hint at a marginal issue that may have been overlooked. Structural integrity, particularly in the wheel arches and sills, should also be assessed for corrosion, as Vauxhall Insignias from this era are prone to rust progression in high-exposure areas. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions-related components should be checked for leaks or excessive wear, as these are frequent causes of MOT failures in similar vehicles.
