2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FL13 AEO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-01 at 182,670 miles recorded a pass with no defects, yet an identical date also shows a fail with 182,669 miles, both noting no defects. This inconsistency suggests a potential administrative error, but the absence of recorded issues in the latest test implies the car met roadworthiness standards at that time. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no escalating faults across the 2023–2025 period, though the repeated fails without recorded defects warrant scrutiny. The mileage progression shows a sharp increase from 148,548 miles in 2023 to 182,670 miles in 2025, averaging 14,052 miles annually. This high usage rate, particularly in the final two years, may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. The MOTs between 2023 and 2025 were clean, with no advisories, indicating consistent maintenance, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into underlying mechanical health. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, which can cause uneven tyre wear and handling issues. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, as high mileage often exacerbates these problems. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be verified, as repeated high-mileage operation may compromise these areas. The absence of recorded faults does not eliminate risks, particularly given the vehicle’s age and usage pattern.
