2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · Y29 JEA

The 2013 Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 27 November 2025 at 91,138 miles resulted in a pass, with only a single advisory issued for rear tyre wear. This is a minor, easily rectifiable consumable issue. The preceding four consecutive annual tests, stretching back to December 2021, all passed with zero defects, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep and no emerging systemic faults. The vehicle has covered approximately 7,011 miles per year since new, a figure that aligns closely with the UK average for a family car of this age. The mileage progression is steady and incremental, with no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps between annual tests. The recorded figure of 91,138 miles at the November 2025 test is the current reading, and the consistent yearly accumulation suggests regular use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear axle, given the advisory for worn rear tyres flagged at the last test. While tyre wear is a routine consumable item, uneven or edge wear can sometimes point to misalignment or worn suspension bushes, so checking the condition of the rear suspension components and wheel alignment is advisable. The clean MOT record over the past five years suggests no serious structural or mechanical deterioration, but a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion remains prudent for a 13-year-old vehicle.
