2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DV13 VVT

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 August 2025 at 146,094 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and resolving, given that the two historical failures in late July and early August 2025 were administrative in nature with no mechanical defects listed, and the vehicle cleared retest within days. Prior to that, the 2023 and 2024 tests also returned passes with clean sheets, showing no escalating wear or recurring advisory pattern across the recorded history. The mileage stands at 146,094 against a 2013 registration, averaging roughly 11,238 miles per year which is typical for the age. The record shows 120,098 miles at the July 2023 test, rising to 131,589 by July 2024 and 145,889 by the August 2025 failure, a steady annual accumulation of around 12,000 to 14,000 miles with no standing gaps or sudden surges. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, recording no advisories on any test, so the file gives little indication of skipped consumable upkeep or neglected components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the high six-figure mileage and the absence of any recorded advisories that might otherwise flag emerging wear. The clean MOT sheets do not confirm structural integrity or corrosion absence beyond the test date, and Vauxhall Insignias of this era are prone to subframe rust that a visual test bay check may not capture. Verify the two 2025 failures were paperwork or identifier mismatches rather than concealed mechanical rejects, since no defects appear on either record. Treat the 11-month-old pass as current but commission an independent check of tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions and drivetrain condition before purchase.
