2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FE61 AEF

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its most recent April 2025 MOT at 205,308 miles. Previous tests from 2024, 2023, and 2022 also showed passing results, though a failed entry on 2023-03-27 at 188,380 miles was noted without specific defects. This suggests either a procedural anomaly or a minor technical failure that was resolved prior to subsequent passes. The absence of recurring mechanical issues in the record indicates consistent maintenance, though the high mileage of 205,308 miles—equating to 13,687 annual miles—raises concerns about wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The mileage pattern reveals a steady accumulation, with 174,020 miles recorded in 2022 and 205,308 miles in 2025, implying an average of 10,000+ miles annually. This rate accelerates wear on consumables such as tyres and brake pads, though no such issues were flagged in the MOTs. A gap between the 2023-03-28 pass (188,394 miles) and the prior 2022 test (174,020 miles) suggests a 14,374-mile jump, which could indicate either a period of heavy use or potential underreporting. The MOT history lacks detailed defect descriptions, limiting insight into underlying mechanical health beyond the stated passes. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the high mileage, and check for brake disc warping or caliper binding, which may not be captured in MOT tests. Corrosion in underbody panels or exhaust emissions components should also be assessed, as these can degrade over time. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the integrity of structural and mechanical elements not covered by standard MOT checks.
