2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DS62 ONH

This Vauxhall Insigna has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across three consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 23 September 2023 at 105,921 miles yielding no defects. The absence of advisories or failings across all three tests—including the 2022 and 2021 examinations at 91,856 and 82,656 miles respectively—indicates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three years. However, the 15-month gap between the 2023 and 2022 tests—far exceeding the standard 12-month interval—raises caution. While no mechanical issues were recorded, prolonged non-compliance with MOT timing could mask deferred maintenance, particularly for high-mileage components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake calipers. The vehicle’s mileage progression of 105,921 miles today, averaging 8,148 miles annually , aligns with typical usage for its age. There are no abrupt spikes or prolonged stagnation in the recorded data, though the 13,065-mile jump between the 2021 and 2022 tests suggests either a period of heavy use or a potential underrecording of mileage. The consistent MOT passes imply no obvious neglect, but the irregular testing schedule warrants scrutiny of wear-and-tear items that might not have been formally assessed during the extended gap. Given the lack of recorded faults, a buyer should prioritise visual and functional checks of suspension components , particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are prone to fatigue at this mileage. The brakes—though never failed—should be inspected for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and pads, especially if the vehicle has experienced wet or salted roads. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion around the sills and wheel arches, must be thoroughly examined, as rust can compromise the chassis over time. Finally, the exhaust system should be tested for leaks or excessive play in mounts, as emissions-related faults were not documented but could develop silently.
