2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FD14 GGF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-19 at 150,553 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the preceding test on 2026-01-15 at 150,515 miles showed a fail, though no specific defects were noted. This suggests a possible administrative error or a retest after minor corrections, but the absence of recorded issues in the latest test implies the car is currently compliant. The pattern of alternating passes and fails without defect details does not confirm a worsening trend, but the lack of transparency in the failed tests limits a definitive assessment of underlying mechanical health. The vehicle’s mileage of 150,553 miles at 12 years old equates to approximately 12,546 miles annually, which is above average for its age. Notable gaps in the MOT history, such as the 19,434-mile increase between the 2023-12-01 test (126,351 miles) and 2025-01-29 (145,790 miles), suggest periods of rapid usage. This could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake systems. The absence of recurring defects in the recorded tests does not confirm maintenance quality, but the high mileage implies potential strain on consumables and structural elements, warranting closer inspection. A buyer should prioritize checking the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be inspected for binding or uneven wear, which may not always trigger MOT failures. Corrosion, particularly in body seams or underbody panels, is another concern given the vehicle’s age and mileage. While the MOT records show no structural integrity issues, the lack of detailed defect reporting means a physical inspection is critical to confirm the car’s mechanical condition beyond the recorded tests.
