2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DN13 AAJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-05 at 103,168 miles resulted in a pass, but the prior test on 2025-05-29 at the same mileage failed without recorded defects. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded issues, though no specific faults were flagged. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2023 showed stable performance, with passes at 85,730 and 64,606 miles respectively, and no defects noted. The maintenance trend appears neutral, with no escalating concerns but also no evidence of proactive repairs. The vehicle’s mileage of 103,168 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 7,936 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. A notable gap exists between the 2023-07-20 test (64,606 miles) and the 2024-07-27 test (85,362 miles), reflecting a 20,756-mile increase over 12 months, which is within normal parameters. No rapid accumulation or extended inactivity is evident, and the MOT history lacks recurring defects, indicating no systemic mechanical degradation. Buyers should verify the vehicle’s suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for wear, as these often degrade over time. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion, given the age, and check brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, which could affect stopping power. A structural integrity assessment is advisable, particularly if the car has been exposed to coastal or de-iced roads. While the MOT records show no critical failures, the recent failed test without defects warrants further scrutiny by a qualified mechanic to confirm the vehicle’s roadworthiness.
