2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DV61 SWU

This Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable and unusually clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 27 October 2025 confirming a pass at 105,859 miles. The record shows no defects or advisories across the last four years of testing. While a failure was logged on the same day as the most recent pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor issue rectified immediately during the test. The vehicle has covered approximately 7,057 miles per year over its fifteen-year lifespan. This is a consistent usage pattern that avoids the risks associated with excessive wear from high mileage or the deterioration caused by prolonged standing. Between October 2022 and October 2025, the mileage rose from 97,350 to 105,859, indicating a steady annual average of roughly 2,800 miles in the most recent three-year window. The complete lack of advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion is atypical for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should verify that this clean record reflects genuine maintenance rather than a lenient testing regime. Focus a physical inspection on the underbody for structural rust and check the condition of the coil springs, as these are common failure points for the Insignia that may not have been flagged in the DVSA data. Verify the service history to ensure oil changes and timing belt intervals were followed. The MOT record confirms roadworthiness but does not prove mechanical health. Check for any signs of oil leaks or drivetrain noise that an MOT test might overlook, as the lack of recorded faults suggests a well-maintained car or one that has undergone preventative part replacements.
