2009 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FL09 ABZ

The 2009 Vauxhall Insignia demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no critical defects recorded in its most recent September 2023 MOT at 165,654 miles. The vehicle has maintained compliance over the past three years, passing all tests from 2020 to 2023, including a 2021 failure at identical mileage (151,316 miles) that did not list specific defects. This suggests either a data anomaly or a minor issue resolved prior to subsequent passes. No structural corrosion, brake system failures, or exhaust emission issues were flagged, indicating consistent maintenance. The mileage of 165,654 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 9,744 miles, typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. MOT tests are spaced consistently every 12 months, with no prolonged gaps or sudden mileage spikes. The 2021 failure at 151,316 miles, coinciding with a later pass at the same mileage, raises questions about test accuracy but does not indicate systemic wear. The absence of recurring issues in suspension, steering, or drivetrain components suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and rear brake calipers, as these components often degrade with high mileage. Inspection of the exhaust system for rust or leaks is advisable, given the vehicle’s age. While no corrosion or structural faults were recorded, a physical check for rust in wheel arches, sills, or underbody panels is recommended. The MOT history confirms no major mechanical failures, but the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into minor wear patterns.
