2013 Vauxhall Insignia 1.8L Petrol · DV13 CYT

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 15 August 2025, which remains valid until August 2026. The recent history indicates a stable and exceptionally clean maintenance trend, as the car has passed four consecutive annual inspections without a single recorded advisory or failure item. While the record shows a fail and a pass on the same day in August 2025, the absence of recorded defects suggests this was likely an administrative error or a minor rectification handled immediately at the testing station rather than a mechanical failure. The recorded mileage of 122,889 miles over thirteen years equates to an average of approximately 9,450 miles per annum, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The consistency of the annual mileage accumulation, ranging between 8,000 and 10,000 miles per year, indicates regular use rather than extended periods of inactivity. This steady usage profile is generally preferable to low-mileage examples that may suffer from seized components or perished seals due to long-term storage. Despite the clean MOT history, the lack of recorded advisories does not preclude the presence of wear on high-mileage consumables that fall outside the scope of a basic safety inspection. Prospective buyers should prioritize a physical assessment of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and coil springs, as these components frequently exhibit fatigue at this mileage. Inspect the brake discs and pads for signs of scoring or thinning, and check the underside for surface corrosion on the subframes and fuel lines. Given the age and mileage, verify the timing belt replacement interval, as this is a critical maintenance item that does not appear on the MOT record but is essential for the longevity of the engine.
