2019 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · EO68 AMU

The 2019 Vauxhall Insignia with 92,984 miles passed its most recent MOT on 2025-07-08, but the record shows two prior failures on the same date, both without recorded defects. This pattern suggests inconsistent compliance rather than a worsening mechanical condition. The vehicle’s last successful test occurred on 2024-06-28 at 83,172 miles, with no defects noted. While the latest pass indicates no immediate safety concerns, the repeated failures without recorded issues raise questions about the accuracy of the testing process or the vehicle’s maintenance consistency. The mileage progression reveals a sharp increase from 80,748 miles (2024-02-06) to 92,984 miles within 17 months, averaging 7,200 miles per month. This rapid accumulation contrasts with the 2024-06-21 test at 83,039 miles, which showed no defects. The sparse data—only four MOT entries over 22 months—limits insight into long-term wear trends. However, the high annual mileage (13,283 miles) implies frequent use, which could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust systems. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The braking system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear. Structural corrosion is less likely given the absence of rust-related advisories, but a thorough underbody check is advisable. The lack of recorded defects in recent tests does not eliminate the need for hands-on verification, especially for components prone to gradual degradation.
