2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DF10 CCO

This Vauxhall Insignia maintains an exceptionally clean record of roadworthiness, distinguished by a total absence of recorded defects or advisories across multiple years of testing. The pass achieved on 27 January 2026 continues a trend of high mechanical stability, although the record shows two instances of failure followed by immediate passes in January 2024 and January 2026. Because no specific defects were logged for these failures, it indicates that any issues were likely trivial and corrected within hours. The recorded mileage of 112,489 miles over sixteen years represents a typical annual accumulation of roughly 7,031 miles. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to the extreme wear associated with high-mileage fleet use, nor the deterioration often found in vehicles that have spent years in long-term storage. Such a consistent history generally implies that the engine and transmission have experienced a moderate and steady workload. Given the lack of historic advisories regarding suspension linkages, brake components, or structural corrosion, there are no specific red flags highlighted by the DVSA records. However, for a vehicle of this age and mileage, a physical inspection should still be conducted to ensure the absence of oil misting around the engine seals and to verify the integrity of the subframe. During the test drive, the buyer should listen for any knocks or clunks over uneven surfaces, which would indicate wear in the suspension bushes or coil springs that may not have reached the threshold of an MOT failure. Attention should also be paid to the smoothness of the braking system and the precision of the steering. The buyer should feel for any pedal judder or steering pull under braking, which could signal warped discs or uneven caliper binding. While the official record is clean, confirming that the vehicle tracks straight and remains free of unusual vibrations at motorway speeds will validate the roadworthiness suggested by the MOT.
