2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · LP11 AJU

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no active defects, evidenced by the most recent test on 28 August 2021 at 133,055 miles where the tester recorded a pass with no advisories. Across the available history from 2018 to 2021, every annual examination resulted in a clean pass aside from a failed entry on 5 September 2018 at 112,096 miles that listed no defects and was immediately retested two days later on 7 September 2018 at 112,127 miles with a pass. The records show no worsening mechanical faults, recurring advisories, or escalating wear indicators. The odometer climbed from 112,127 miles in September 2018 to 133,055 miles by August 2021, an accumulation of roughly 20,928 miles over three years or about 6,976 miles per year, slightly below the vehicle's lifetime average of 8,870 miles annually. The sparse five-entry history covers only the final four years before the last test, leaving the first eleven years undocumented. A clean sweep of passes with zero advisories across this span suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though the absence of recorded wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes means those components were either within tolerance or simply not flagged. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for age-related degradation, as a fifteen-year-old vehicle at 133,055 miles will likely show consumable fatigue not captured in a defect-free MOT log. The unexplained fail on 5 September 2018 with no defects noted warrants a check of the test certificate and any associated rework, since DVSA systems occasionally omit minor administrative reasons. Given the vehicle has sat unused for nearly five years since its last test in August 2021, the buyer must verify current tyre condition, fluid degradation, and corrosion on structural members before any road use, as standing time accelerates rubber perishing and brake binding beyond what the historic record can reveal.
