2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DL14 ACJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-10-23 at 93,882 miles, resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns in the records suggests the car has been well-maintained. However, the vehicle has not undergone an MOT since October 2025, and today’s date of 2026-07-17 means it is now overdue for retesting. This gap may signal potential neglect, though the prior history shows no critical failures. The mileage progression from 71,148 miles in 2022 to 93,882 miles in 2025 aligns with an average of 7,824 miles annually, consistent with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle. Notably, the 2022-11-04 test recorded both a pass and a fail at the same mileage, an anomaly that may reflect data entry errors. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, suggesting steady, predictable usage. The lack of defects in recent tests implies routine upkeep, though the 2022 failed test—despite no recorded issues—warrants scrutiny for potential unaddressed problems. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly around the chassis and underbody, as older models like the 2014 Insignia are prone to rust in damp climates. The suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, should be checked for wear, as consistent mileage without defects does not eliminate the risk of gradual degradation. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should also be examined for uneven wear or binding, as these can develop over time. The absence of advisories in recent MOTs is reassuring, but the 2022 failed test’s unclear nature underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
