2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DS14 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 27 October 2025 at 121,728 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just ten days prior on 17 October 2025 at 121,692 miles. The lack of recorded defects on the failure certificate suggests an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean pass record without advisories. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle. With 121,728 miles recorded, the Insignia averages approximately 10,144 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for this age. The data shows steady accumulation between tests, such as the 8,769 miles driven between October 2022 and November 2023, and another 3,261 miles between November 2023 and October 2024. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of sitting, which often leads to seized components or perished rubber seals. Because the MOT record shows no recurring advisories or historical mechanical faults, a buyer should focus on high-mileage wear items that are not always captured during a standard test. Prioritize the front suspension components, specifically the control arm bushes and drops, as these are common points of failure on Insignias at this mileage. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding calipers, as the record does not flag past issues. Given the age, a physical inspection of the structural integrity along the underbody is necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing in the sills.
