2009 Vauxhall Insignia 1.8L Petrol · FL09 PXD

The 2009 Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 August 2025 at 114,549 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful annual tests also closed with clean sheets. The owner has kept the vehicle to a consistent standard with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the visible history. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 17-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,738 miles per year against the 114,549 miles recorded. The gap between the 15 July 2022 test at 89,432 miles and the 26 August 2023 test at 97,196 miles shows about 7,764 miles covered, then 6,942 miles to August 2024 and 10,411 miles to August 2025, all within normal bounds. The only anomaly is the failed test on 25 August 2023 at 97,177 miles, reversed the next day at 97,196 miles with a pass and no defects listed, which suggests an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair of a worn component. Given the absence of recorded advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion across five years of testing, the structure and running gear show no documented decline. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of subframe and sill integrity, as the Insignia of this era is prone to structural rust that a visual MOT check may miss until advanced. Verify the 2023 fail reason with DVSA, since the record shows no defect yet a rejection one day before a clean pass. Beyond that, treat the car as a low-risk used purchase on the evidence of its test lineage, with usual checks on tyre condition and fluid intervals for a high-mileage petrol or diesel of this vintage.
