2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · AE64 UNV

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 81,558 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from December 2022 through December 2024 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a fail on 8 December 2023 at 70,408 miles that the DVSA record shows with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on 13 December 2023 at 70,623 miles. This suggests an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the pattern since has been clean. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2014 vehicle. The record shows 62,932 miles at the December 2022 test, rising to 70,623 by December 2023, 76,515 by December 2024, and 81,558 by December 2025. That equates to roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles per year across the observed period, with no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps. The sparse five-entry history contains no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or corrosion, so the data alone implies reasonable upkeep rather than neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean record. The absence of advisories across four passes means worn coil springs, degraded suspension bushes, or corroding brake discs may simply be under the test threshold and unlogged. The December 2023 fail with no recorded defect warrants confirmation that no outstanding recall or test anomaly affects the vehicle. Given the car is now twelve years old, examine structural integrity underneath for rust at sills and subframes, check brake disc wear and caliper operation, and verify tyre sidewall condition. The MOT data shows no recurring faults, but a single clean history should not replace a hands-on check of mechanical and structural components.
