2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DS64 CMZ

The Vauxhall Insignia’s most recent MOT test on 2026-03-20—just four months ago at 108,436 miles—confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This consistency across the last three annual tests (2023, 2024, and 2025) suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the duplicate entry for 2024 (a failed test on 2024-03-12 followed by a pass on 2024-03-14) indicates a brief but resolved issue. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the record, which implies either diligent servicing or that critical components have not yet reached their typical failure thresholds for this mileage. The mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging roughly 9,000 miles annually—a rate typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no prolonged gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage, though the 2024 test dates sit unusually close together (just two days apart), which may reflect either administrative oversight or a rushed retest after an initial failure. The absence of any advisory notes in prior tests also means no deferred repairs were left unresolved, though this does not preclude hidden wear on high-stress parts like suspension bushes or drivetrain components. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components—particularly rear bushes and coil springs—due to the vehicle’s age and mileage. The brakes, while not flagged in tests, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced hard braking or off-road use. Structural corrosion should also be checked at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are common failure points for this model. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust, as emissions-related failures are often silent until advanced. The clean MOT history is reassuring, but these areas demand hands-on verification.
