2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FN13 BVZ

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a clean roadworthiness record with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 181,171 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the same date also shows a failure entry carrying no listed defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in September 2024 at 170,131 miles, March 2024 at 164,272 miles, and March 2023 at 155,184 miles all passed with no advisories, confirming the vehicle has avoided flagged wear across a two-year span. The odometer shows 181,171 miles on a 13-year-old car, averaging roughly 13,936 miles per year, which sits high for the model age and points to sustained motorway or commuter use. Mileage rose from 155,184 in March 2023 to 170,131 by September 2024, then to 181,171 by September 2025, a steady annual climb near the long-term average. The record carries no gaps exceeding twelve months, and the absence of any advisories across five tests suggests previous owners kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits, though a clean sheet does not confirm proactive overhaul of worn parts. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and age. The tester logged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet Vauxhall Insignias of this era commonly develop subframe rust and rear trailing arm wear unseen on a pass certificate. Verify the September 2025 failure cause with DVSA, as the zero-defect entry may mask a documentation error or omitted note. Check tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions during viewing, since these consumables fall outside advisory thresholds until failure. The drivetrain has absorbed over 181,000 miles; assess gearbox condition and turbo response on a road test before purchase.
