2009 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BV09 AEN

The vehicle displays a highly stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive clean MOT passes between November 2021 and October 2025. The most recent inspection on 28 October 2025 at 89,126 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects or advisories, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained to a consistent standard. The absence of recurring failures or minor item flags over this four-year period suggests a proactive approach to servicing and a lack of significant mechanical neglect. At 17 years of age with 89,126 miles recorded, the vehicle averages approximately 5,243 miles per annum, which is notably low for a Vauxhall Insignia of this era. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, with roughly 2,590 miles added between the 2024 and 2025 tests, confirming regular but light usage. This consistent annual testing pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of inactivity, which often leads to seized components or perished rubber seals. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, a physical inspection should focus on components that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach a critical state. Given the age of the chassis, verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or surface corrosion that may have been overlooked during standard testing. Check the brake discs for inner-face scoring or lip formation, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface oxidation on the friction surfaces. Examine the underside for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the subframe mounts and sills, to ensure the vehicle remains sound for continued operation.
