2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DV13 WGE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend in its maintenance history. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 88,535 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that previous mechanical and electrical issues have been addressed. This follows a minor setback in October 2024 where the car initially failed due to basic lighting faults but was successfully rectified to achieve a pass. The mileage pattern for this thirteen-year-old Insignia is consistent with age, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 65,938 miles and October 2025 at 88,535 miles, the vehicle covered over 22,000 miles, showing steady and predictable usage. This low mileage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of neglect which typically benefits components, though it also means that age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids remains a relevant factor despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking and suspension systems, as the record shows a recurring history of neglect in these areas. Tests in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 repeatedly flagged thin brake pads, worn discs, and imbalanced braking. The failure for a fractured offside rear coil spring in 2021 indicates that the suspension has been subjected to stress, so an inspection of current bushes for signs of perished rubber and a check for brake fluid leaks around the calipers is necessary to ensure the previous pattern of reactive maintenance has not returned.
