2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DY11 TXL

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable and generally well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 23 October 2025 at 128,128 miles. The maintenance trend is clearly improving. An initial failure on the same date for a trivial windscreen washer top-up was rectified immediately within the same session, and the subsequent pass recorded only minor advisories for front brake discs and pads wearing thin. This indicates a diligent owner addressing consumable wear promptly. The most recent MOT is valid until October 2026, providing a full year of coverage from today's date. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a 15-year-old vehicle. The record shows a steady progression from 113,208 miles in February 2023 to 128,128 miles by late 2025, averaging roughly 8,500 miles per year. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would suggest long periods of inactivity or recent high-intensity use. The annual test intervals are regular, confirming consistent yearly operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front braking system and the rear suspension. The October 2025 pass flagged front brake discs worn but not excessively, and front pads wearing thin, meaning replacement is imminent. The rear suspension has a recurring advisory pattern. In November 2023 at 116,239 miles, both rear shock absorbers were noted for light oil misting, and this advisory repeated in November 2024 at 122,000 miles. While not a failure, persistent misting indicates the shock seals are degrading and damping performance will be diminished. The 2024 test also flagged corrosion on the rear sub-frame, described as not seriously weakened, but this area warrants close inspection now at 128,128 miles to ensure structural integrity has not deteriorated further.
