2009 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FG59 TPY

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 5 February 2025 at 143,743 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 31 January 2024 at 142,778 miles confirms no outstanding advisories across the last two examinations. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults and no recurring test failures beyond an anomalous duplicate entry on 31 January 2024 where a failure was logged with no defects cited, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, indicating an administrative error rather than a genuine fault. Annual mileage sits at a typical 8,455 miles for a 17-year-old car. The record spans 27 January 2022 at 138,802 miles through to 5 February 2025 at 143,743 miles, a total gain of 4,941 miles over three years. The owner added only 965 miles between the January 2024 and February 2025 tests, suggesting the car saw light use in that period. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the DVSA data, and the clean sheet across all five listed tests means consumable wear items such as tyres, brake discs, and suspension bushes drew no tester attention. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. Standing time implied by the low 965-mile year can accelerate perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on brake calipers or underbody structures not visible during a static MOT. The absence of advisories does not certify long-term integrity on a 143,000-mile chassis. Verify the duplicate 31 January 2024 failure with no defects against DVSA records before purchase to rule out a clerical anomaly. Prior to handover, a workshop should confirm suspension bush condition, exhaust emissions against current limits, and structural integrity beneath sills and subframes given the vehicle's age and mileage.
