2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FN11 VJM

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 24 November 2025 at 128,764 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 resulting in a pass or a immediate re-test pass. The lone blemish is a failure on 19 November 2025 at 128,751 miles that listed no defects, corrected by a pass five days later at 128,764 miles; this points to an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a deterioration in condition. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2011 vehicle, averaging roughly 8,584 miles per year against the recorded 128,764 miles. The records show gentle accumulation: 118,952 miles in November 2022, 122,132 in November 2023, 123,344 in December 2024, and 128,751 by November 2025. Only 5,420 miles were covered in the final twelve months, confirming light recent use. No gaps exceed thirteen months, and the clean advisory columns across all five tests indicate the previous owner kept consumables and structure within limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unbroken pass record. The absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and corrosion across fifteen years is unusual for a Vauxhall of this era and may reflect lenient testing rather than perfect condition. Prior to purchase, a technician should measure brake disc thickness, check subframe and sill structural integrity for hidden rust, and confirm the tyre tread depths match the no-defect claims. The November 2025 failure with zero recorded defects warrants scrutiny of the DVSA refusal reason, as it may concern a documentation or lighting issue missed on the initial presentation. Given the car's age and 128,764 miles, budget for imminent wear on dampers and exhaust emissions components even where the MOT shows a clear sheet.
