2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · AF11 JVH

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 28 July 2025 at 107,602 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the test history shows a curious pattern of immediate pass-fail cycles. On 25 July 2025 the car failed at the same mileage with no defects logged, then passed three days later. An identical sequence occurred on 30 July 2024, failing at 84,810 miles before passing at 84,811 miles the same day. These administrative anomalies suggest clerical or processing errors at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, as no advisories or defects appear across any entry. The mileage progression is consistent with typical use for a 15-year-old vehicle. The record shows 68,112 miles at the June 2023 test, rising to 84,810 by July 2024, then jumping to 107,602 by July 2025. That final 12-month period added 22,791 miles, well above the circa 7,173 annual average and indicating heavier recent use. The 2023 to 2024 gap of just over thirteen months is acceptable, but the clean record with zero advisories across all tests is sparse and offers no insight into wear on consumables or structural condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. The absence of advisories does not confirm sound suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc thickness. At 107,602 miles and fifteen years old, corrosion on subframes and sills is plausible and the tester may simply not have flagged it. Check for binding calipers, exhaust integrity, and tyre sidewall cracking given the low-mileage standing periods implied by the earlier years. Given the repeated same-day fail-pass entries, verify the V5C and DVSA status to rule out recorded errors before purchase. The high mileage accrued in the last year warrants scrutiny of drivetrain condition and gearbox wear uncommon in lighter-use examples of this model.
