2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FL61 PZW

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 May 2025 at 153,708 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from April 2022 to May 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 4 May 2023 at 138,806 miles, reversed by a pass six days later at 138,847 miles with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or minor rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. Recorded mileage shows typical use for a 15-year-old vehicle. The odometer climbed from 127,153 miles in April 2022 to 153,708 miles by May 2025, an average of roughly 8,800 miles per year against a 10,247-mile norm. The gap between the April 2024 pass at 148,626 miles and the May 2025 pass at 153,708 miles is just over 5,000 miles, reflecting light recent use. The clean record across five tests suggests the previous owner kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 153,708 miles. The MOT data flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions failures, or binding calipers, but DVSA tests do not strip components. Verify underneath for structural integrity and check tyre tread depth and wiper condition, as these consumables fall outside the recorded advisories yet wear with standing time. The absence of recurring advisories points to resolving or well-managed wear rather than worsening neglect. Given the 2023 fail-with-no-defect anomaly, confirm with the seller what was addressed in those six days. Otherwise the history supports a sound used purchase for the mileage, assuming a current independent mechanical check.
