2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DN64 YLK

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following the most recent January 2026 test, where the tester passed the car at 116,315 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the five-year MOT span, with every annual examination from January 2023 through January 2026 returning a pass and no advisories logged at any stage. A failed entry dated 29 January 2026 at 116,315 miles sits alongside a same-day pass with no defects recorded, indicating a clerical or administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages 9,693 against the car's 12-year life, a typical figure for this age of vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 84,044 miles in January 2023, 98,577 in January 2024, 109,838 in January 2025, and 116,315 by January 2026. The owner added roughly 14,500 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, then eased to around 11,000 per year thereafter. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear in the data, and the clean sheet across all dates suggests consistent use without neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished MOT trail. The absence of advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were not flagged, yet testers often miss early-stage structural rust on these Insignia platforms. Check brake disc thickness and caliper operation, as binding rear calipers are common on high-mileage Vauxhall estates and leave no MOT trace until failed. Given the clean history, previous owners likely kept basic upkeep current, though the lack of any recorded advisories across 32,000 miles is unusual and warrants scrutiny of the test station's rigor. Inspect tyre sidewalls, exhaust hangers, and underbody seams for corrosion before purchase, and confirm the January 2026 failure was purely administrative via the DVSA portal.
