2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FH14 ACF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-07-01 at 207,232 miles recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the past 18 months. Previous tests from 2024-08-20 (191,009 miles) and 2023-08-22 (171,715 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a failed test on 2022-08-16 at 151,031 miles—despite no defects being recorded—raises questions about potential unresolved concerns. The absence of recurring faults in later tests implies corrective action was taken, but the initial failure warrants scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 207,232 miles at 12 years old equates to an average of 17,269 miles annually, significantly higher than typical usage. A 20,000-mile jump between the 2022-08-16 test (151,031 miles) and 2023-08-22 (171,715 miles) suggests rapid accumulation, which may accelerate wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and suspension components. The MOT history shows no gaps in testing, but the high mileage implies increased risk of fatigue in mechanical systems, particularly the drivetrain and exhaust. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, given the vehicle’s age. Structural integrity is less clear from the records, but the lack of rust-related advisories in MOTs is a positive sign. The 2022 failure, though unexplained, underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm no latent issues persist.
