2010 Vauxhall Insignia 1.8L Petrol · MJ60 AEA

The Vauxhall Insignia shows a stable maintenance trend with no defects recorded across five successive MOT tests, the most recent being the 19 October 2024 examination at 122,494 miles which passed without advisory. Relative to today's date of 16 July 2026, that test is over twenty one months old and the annual certificate has long expired, implying the vehicle has either been laid up or used without valid road licence. The consistent clean results from 2020 through 2024 indicate previous owners addressed requirements promptly and avoided cumulative mechanical neglect. Mileage progression reveals an initially low usage pattern that shifted sharply in the final recorded year. The tester logged 78,186 miles on 1 August 2020, then 82,346 on 2 August 2021, 91,044 on 27 September 2022 and 98,516 on 2 September 2023, reflecting annual additions of four to nine thousand miles. Between September 2023 and October 2024 the odometer jumped by 23,978 miles, a marked acceleration suggesting a period of high demand driving. After the last recorded test the absence of further entries points to the car standing idle for the subsequent months. No recurring faults or structural warnings appear in the DVSA data, so the buyer cannot rely on historical advisories to target inspections. At sixteen years old and 122,494 miles, typical Insignia wear centres on suspension bushes, front coil springs and brake disc thinning, while older Vauxhall bodies can show corrosion at sill seams and subframe mounts. A physical check should measure tyre tread depth, assess steering rack gaiters and confirm caliper operation, since binding calipers or exhausted dampers would not surface on a pass with no defects. The clean record implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance but does not confirm component residual life. Given the lapsed test status, any purchaser must commission a fresh MOT and an independent mechanical appraisal before road use.
