2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FH10 FTZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on November 2023 at 134,072 miles resulted in no recorded defects, following a failure just one day prior at 134,062 miles. This specific failure without recorded defects often suggests a clerical error or a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, as the subsequent pass indicates no underlying mechanical or structural failures that violate DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per year. Between October 2020 and November 2023, the car covered 15,652 miles, maintaining a steady usage rate of roughly 5,200 miles annually during that period. This lower annual mileage typically reduces stress on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods or underwent erratic mileage accumulation between intervals. Since the DVSA records show no recurring advisories or faults, a physical inspection should focus on age-related wear typical of the Vauxhall Insignia platform. A buyer must manually inspect the subframe and rear suspension mounting points for corrosion, as these are common areas of structural failure on this model. Given the age, checking the condition of the rubber suspension components for cracking and verifying the brake caliper movement for binding is essential, as the MOT does not account for the gradual degradation of these parts until they reach a point of failure.
