2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DA60 MZY

The Vauxhall Insignia shows a currently roadworthy status following the December 2024 test pass at 157,449 miles, with the underlying maintenance trend reading as stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass came one day after a December 2024 failure at 157,448 miles that listed no defects, a pattern indicating an administrative or presentational rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in December 2023, December 2022, and December 2021 all passed with no advisories or defects logged at 148,285, 140,021, and 131,172 miles respectively. The odometer sat at 131,172 miles in December 2021 and climbed to 157,449 miles by December 2024, an accumulation of 26,277 miles over three years or roughly 8,759 miles per year. That figure sits slightly below the lifetime average of 9,841 miles per year for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, suggesting consistent but unexceptional use. The record contains no gaps longer than twelve months and no rapid accumulation spikes, though the clean sheet across every entry means the DVSA data offers little insight into wear on consumables or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the car's age and 157,449 miles. The absence of advisories does not preclude tired components that testers judged within tolerance on the day. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants close checking for corrosion, as a 2010 Insignia is now prone to rust where road salt has acted over sixteen winters. The repeated clean MOT outcomes imply previous owners kept the vehicle to a passable standard rather than neglecting it outright. The December 2024 fail with no defects recorded points to a paperwork or lighting anomaly cleared within twenty-four hours. Treat the history as reassuring but not a substitute for a physical appraisal of drivetrain condition and underbody rust before purchase.
