2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FL61 DPF

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 7 March 2025 at 170,700 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The DVSA entries show no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults at any stage, indicating the vehicle cleared each successful test in clean condition. The repeated fail-and-pass pairs on the same dates in 2024 and 2025 are anomalous but carried no recorded defects, suggesting administrative rejections rather than mechanical failure. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for a 2011 vehicle, rising from 150,332 miles at the 10 February 2023 test to 161,360 miles by 6 March 2024 and 170,700 miles by March 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 to 11,000 miles annually, consistent with the 11,380-mile average for the age. The two-year gap between the 2023 and 2024 entries is the only notable interval, though the 2024 and 2025 tests fall within days of each other, showing recent and regular testing discipline from the prior owner. Given the absence of any flagged items across suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, the MOT record alone reveals no recurring wear trends requiring caution. A clean pass sheet at 170,700 miles implies consumables such as tyres and wiper blades met minimum standards on the day but offers no forward view of remaining life. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside structural integrity and suspension components, as the MOT does not strip panels or measure hidden rust. Verify the reason for the same-day fail-pass cycles with the test station, and confirm service history to corroborate the low-defect record on a high-mileage drivetrain.
