2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · SD60 AAV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-10 at 93,643 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current compliance. However, the pattern of MOT results shows inconsistency, with a failure on 2025-06-09 (93,641 miles) and two prior failures in 2023-06-01 (80,433 miles) despite no defects being noted. This suggests potential administrative or procedural issues during testing rather than mechanical deterioration. The absence of recorded defects in passing tests implies no critical faults, but the repeated failures without explanation raise questions about the reliability of the MOT history. The vehicle’s mileage of 93,643 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 5,853 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may lead to component stiffness or fluid degradation. A notable jump in mileage from 83,354 (2024-06-11) to 93,643 (2025-06-10) reflects a 10,289-mile increase over 12 months, suggesting a possible shift in usage patterns. Such a rapid accumulation could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though no specific issues were flagged in the records. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden fatigue in these components. The absence of brake-related defects in passing tests is reassuring, but the vehicle’s age necessitates a close check for corrosion in underbody panels and exhaust systems. Structural integrity should also be verified, as prolonged inactivity may have affected body panels or chassis components. The MOT history’s lack of detailed findings underscores the importance of a professional mechanical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond recorded data.
