2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DL11 UDV

The Insignia presents a clean MOT trajectory with the most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 108,897 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend is stable across the five-year record, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged. The sole anomaly appears on 21 August 2024 when the tester logged a fail at 106,238 miles yet recorded no defects, followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage, indicating a probable administrative correction rather than a deterioration in condition. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 2011 vehicle. From the 25 August 2022 test at 104,222 miles to the 21 August 2023 test at 104,961 miles, the car covered only 739 miles in a year, hinting at a period of limited operation or short local journeys. Annual distances then rose modestly: 1,277 miles to August 2024 and 2,659 miles to September 2025. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation; the 108,897 total implies around 7,260 miles per year average, reflecting gentle private use. Despite the unblemished MOT history, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-related wear points. Vauxhall Insignias of this era commonly exhibit degraded suspension bushes, fatigued coil springs, and superficial corrosion on structural members even when the annual test finds nothing actionable. The brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for lip wear and binding, as the MOT load only samples visible condition. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, given the consistent passes and absence of tyre or emission failures. However, the unexplained fail entry in August 2024 suggests the vehicle may have changed hands or undergone a hasty retest. Prospective owners should verify service history and scrutinise underside integrity before purchase.
