2009 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · AK09 MMA

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 November 2024 at 133,712 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the latest test showing a clean sheet and no outstanding advisories carried forward from prior years. Mileage accumulation has been exceptionally low for a 2009 vehicle. Between the failed and passed tests on 25 November 2021 at 132,986 and 132,989 miles, and the 2 November 2022 tests at 133,708 and 133,709 miles, the car covered only around 720 miles across a full year. By the November 2024 test at 133,712 miles, total added distance since late 2022 was a mere three miles. Such minimal use over two years suggests the car stood largely idle, which raises the risk of perished rubber components, seized calipers, and moisture-driven corrosion despite the clean MOT record. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs in November 2021 and November 2022, both with no defects logged, indicate administrative re-tests rather than genuine mechanical faults. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity appear anywhere in the history. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of worsening wear or recurring mechanical trends. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on age-related concerns absent from MOT data. Long stationary periods at 133,000 miles commonly hide flat-spotted tyres, degraded suspension bushes, and underbody corrosion on an Insignia of this era. Verify the condition of brake calipers for binding after storage and check for fluid leaks around the drivetrain that low-mileage tests would not capture.
