2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FG61 BZB

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 August 2024 at 151,004 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests from 2021 through 2023 also returned passes with no advisories. The record shows no recurring mechanical or structural faults across the five-year span, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that clears the MOT threshold consistently. Annual mileage averages around 10,067 miles against the car's 15-year life, which is typical for the age. The odometer moved from 117,754 miles at the 2 August 2021 test to 125,337 miles in July 2022, then 134,402 miles by July 2023, reaching 151,004 miles by August 2024. The accumulation is steady at roughly 8,000 to 16,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, showing only a failed entry on 29 July 2023 at 134,402 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same day, suggesting an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean MOT trail. At 151,004 miles and 15 years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs will carry consumable wear not always captured by tester advisories. The 29 July 2023 fail with no recorded defects warrants confirmation that no latent issue such as corrosion or binding calipers was overlooked at retest. Given the absence of flagged exhaust emissions, structural integrity concerns, or tyre and wiper defects in the official record, previous owners appear to have addressed statutory requirements without neglect. The buyer should verify underside condition and suspension compliance in person, as high-mileage Vauxhall Insignia models commonly develop subframe corrosion invisible to a standard MOT pass.
