2020 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FE20 GCF

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 April 2025 at 36,843 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior passing test on 4 March 2024 at 33,296 miles also showed a clean sheet. The history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the four-year span, indicating consistent upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,140 miles against the car's six-year life, a typical figure for this age of vehicle. The records show 23,761 miles at the 17 March 2023 test, rising to 33,296 miles by 4 March 2024 and 36,843 miles by April 2025. The low yearly accumulation suggests lighter use, though the 9,535-mile jump between March 2023 and March 2024 is the largest in the data. No standing-period gaps or abrupt accumulation appear beyond that single year. One anomaly warrants scrutiny: the 4 March 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass at identical mileage of 33,296 with no defects listed on either. DVSA systems occasionally log a voided initial test alongside the valid retest, but a buyer should confirm with the seller or DVSA that no concealed fault prompted the first attempt. Beyond that, the clean record gives no cause to anticipate worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. Given the absence of advisories on tyres, exhaust emissions, or corrosion, a pre-purchase inspection should still verify basic consumables through physical checks. Examine tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and underbody for any fresh rust the MOT may not yet capture. The low mileage means original factory fitments could remain, so assess age-related perishing on hoses and tyres even where tread looks sufficient.
