2018 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · DV68 AEJ

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-08-19 MOT at 107,192 miles recording no defects. Previous tests from 2024 to 2022 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The single 2022-10-04 failure at 74,688 miles was recorded without specific defects, suggesting a minor procedural or technical anomaly rather than a structural concern. No recurring faults or escalating issues are evident in the history, supporting the conclusion of a mechanically sound vehicle. The mileage of 107,192 miles over eight years equates to approximately 13,399 miles annually, exceeding average usage for this age. Notable gaps exist in the MOT timeline, such as the 10-month interval between the 2022-10-04 test and the 2023-08-30 inspection, during which mileage rose from 74,688 to 89,552 miles. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. However, the absence of defects in subsequent tests implies that these elements were managed adequately, though high mileage remains a factor for closer scrutiny. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly coil springs and shock absorbers, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant attention due to potential corrosion or uneven wear from frequent use. Structural integrity should also be verified, as high mileage can exacerbate rust in underbody areas. While the MOT record shows no immediate risks, the vehicle’s usage pattern necessitates a thorough check of wear-prone systems to confirm continued reliability.
