2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DL14 ABV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-17 at 156,372 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, the same date also shows a prior failure at 156,370 miles, which similarly noted no defects. This pattern of alternating passes and failures without recorded issues suggests inconsistent testing or administrative errors rather than mechanical deterioration. The maintenance trend shows no clear worsening or improvement, as the vehicle has remained roadworthy without significant faults in the last three years. The mileage of 156,372 miles at 12 years old equates to an average of 13,031 miles annually, which is notably high. A significant jump from 139,399 miles in 2023 to 156,372 miles by 2025 indicates rapid accumulation, likely reflecting heavy usage. This rate of wear increases the risk of accelerated degradation in components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The absence of defects in the MOT records does not confirm mechanical integrity, as some issues may not trigger immediate failure. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, which are common in high-mileage vehicles. Check for brake disc warping or uneven wear, as high mileage can exacerbate these issues. Examine the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity. While the MOT history shows no direct faults, the vehicle’s usage pattern warrants a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical condition.
