2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FN13 BEJ

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass on 22 May 2024 at 171,719 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the records show a failed test on 21 May 2024 at 171,696 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass the next day, and an identical fail-then-pass pattern on 23 May 2023 at 157,985 miles. Such back-to-back failures with no recorded defects suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical decline, but the buyer should treat the pattern as a minor irregularity rather than evidence of neglect. The odometer shows 171,719 miles against a 2013 build, equating to roughly 13,200 miles per year and placing this car firmly in high-mileage territory for its age. Mileage moved from 139,654 in February 2022 to 157,985 by May 2023, then to 171,719 by May 2024, a steady ~14,000-mile annual rate with no standing periods implied. A notable gap exists before February 2022, with no earlier tests supplied, so the wear profile of the first nine years remains undocumented. No advisories or defects appear across any supplied test, so the DVSA record alone gives no cause to suspect failing suspension bushes, corroded structure, or worn brake discs. The clean sheets do not certify condition, only that the car met minimum standards on the day. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of coil springs, subframe corrosion, and caliper operation given the mileage, as these items wear silently between tests. The repeated no-defect failures without listed faults mean the history offers little mechanical warning but equally little assurance on consumables. Verify the V5C and test certificates for the May 2023 and May 2024 anomalies, and budget for tyres, wipers, and fluid services as standard for a 171,000-mile Insignia.
