2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · CX10 UHR

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 January 2026 at 101,532 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior four annual tests from January 2023 through January 2025 also returned passes with no advisories. The January 2025 entry shows a failed test on the same date and mileage as a subsequent pass, yet the record lists no defects for either, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages around 6,346 miles, consistent with typical use for a 16-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 87,463 miles at the January 2023 test to 91,867 in January 2024, then 96,451 in January 2025, and 101,532 by January 2026. The yearly increments of roughly 4,000 to 5,000 miles show no rapid accumulation or standing gaps. The clean record across all five entries suggests the previous owner kept basic statutory testing current, though absence of advisories does not confirm proactive component renewal. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and 101,532 miles. The MOT history flags no corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions failures, but testers often miss early structural rust on sills and subframes without strip-down. Verify the January 2025 duplicate test was purely clerical and obtain proof of interim servicing between annual tests. Given the sparse but clean record, treat the Insignia as mechanically sound on paper yet unproven on consumables. Inspect tyre sidewalls, wiper blades, and underbody integrity in person before purchase. The lack of recurring advisories implies no worsening trend, though 16 years of use warrants scrutiny of drivetrain mounts and steering joints not covered by MOT checks.
