2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DP14 CWZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The final test conducted on 26 July 2023 at 188,068 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and structural components met minimum legal standards at that time. This followed a clean pass in July 2022 after the owner rectified a failure recorded just one day prior, suggesting that the previous keeper was proactive in addressing immediate faults once they were identified. The mileage pattern reflects heavy usage for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,700 miles per annum. Between June 2020 and July 2023, the car covered 32,235 miles, showing a consistent and high-frequency operation cycle. This level of mileage puts significant stress on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system. The fact that the last MOT was performed nearly three years ago as of June 2026 is a primary concern, as the vehicle has likely operated without an official safety check for an extended period while potentially accumulating many thousands of additional miles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the final test, a thorough check of the suspension control arms and coil springs is necessary to look for play or perished rubber. The braking system should be evaluated for thinning discs and seized calipers, as high-mileage use often accelerates wear on these consumables. Because the record is now outdated, a close look at the structural integrity, particularly around the sills and subframe, is vital to ensure no significant corrosion has developed since the 2023 inspection.
