2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · CX60 VFV

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 19 August 2025 at 149,074 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, though the test history shows a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by near-immediate passes, with no faults listed on any failure. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than progressive mechanical degradation. The recorded mileage of 149,074 against a 2010 build gives an average of roughly 9,300 miles per year, which is typical for the age. Between the 5 October 2023 test at 142,359 miles and the August 2024 tests at 142,676 miles the car covered only 317 miles in ten months, indicating a period of limited use. From August 2024 to August 2025 it added 6,398 miles, a return to normal annual running. The clean defect record across all entries means no consumable wear or structural concerns were formally flagged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe corrosion given the vehicle is sixteen years old and has spent time in low-use storage, which accelerates rubber perishing and surface rust. The repeated fail-then-pass sequence within days, notably the 15 and 19 August 2025 entries at 149,032 and 149,074 miles, implies the owner addressed a non-recorded rejection quickly; confirm the nature of those failures through the DVSA failure reason codes before purchase. No advisories for tyres, exhaust emissions or binding calipers appear in the supplied record, so the previous keeper appears to have maintained basic test compliance. Given the sparse history and zero defects, treat the MOT as a minimum standard only and verify real-world condition with a ramp inspection.
