2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DX14 MDZ

The 2025‑02‑04 MOT at 125,878 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record is stable. No recurring failures have appeared since the 2023 test at 101,835 miles, and each subsequent inspection has produced the same clean result. The mileage trajectory shows roughly 10,500 miles per year, consistent with normal usage for a 12‑year‑old Insignia. A notable increase occurred between the January 2024 failure at 114,227 miles and the February 2024 pass at the same odometer reading, representing an accumulation of about 12,400 miles in less than a month, which suggests intensive use during that period. The narrow 34‑mile gap between the February 2025 fail and pass indicates minimal driving between those two tests. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs for scoring or corrosion, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially around the sill and rear subframe where moisture can collect. While the MOT history records no serious mechanical faults, the absence of documented defects does not guarantee the absence of wear, so a physical inspection of the listed components and a review of service invoices are essential before purchase.
