2009 Vauxhall Insignia 1.8L Petrol · AE58 SFV

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 March 2025 at 140,479 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 12 March 2024 at 135,293 miles confirms no outstanding advisories have carried through. The history shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the five years of data supplied. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2009 vehicle, averaging roughly 8,263 miles per year against the recorded 140,479 miles. The records move from 119,477 miles on 14 March 2022 to 128,311 miles on 16 March 2023, then 135,293 miles on 12 March 2024, and 140,479 miles on 7 March 2025. That equates to steady yearly use of around 6,800 to 7,200 miles with no abrupt accumulation or long dormant gaps. The single failure on 12 March 2024 at 135,289 miles listed no defects, and the car passed later that same day, suggesting an administrative or test-process anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. Given the absence of advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the MOT record implies the previous keeper kept basic consumable wear under control. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, as MOT passes at this age do not certify freedom from developing corrosion. Verify the coil springs and binding calipers visually, since these items commonly escape detection on a pass with no defects noted. The clean sequence from 2022 through 2025 reflects responsible upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Treat the 2024 same-day fail-and-pass as negligible. At 17 years old and 140,479 miles, expect normal ageing of drivetrain mounts and suspension components not captured by the tester, so a pre-purchase check beneath the car remains sensible.
