2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FN14 APY

The Vauxhall Insignia shows a currently roadworthy status following the August 2025 pass at 158,446 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the three most recent annual tests. The August 2025 test recorded a pass and a same-day fail with no defects logged on either, repeating a pattern seen on 20 August 2024 when the car passed at 149,669 miles and failed the same day at 149,665 miles with no faults noted. These duplicate entries with zero defects suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical concerns, and the most recent clean pass confirms the vehicle met roadworthiness standards twelve months ago. At roughly 13,204 miles per year, the 158,446 recorded miles on this twelve-year-old Insignia sit above the typical average for its age and point to sustained high-use motoring. The odometer advanced from 133,324 miles at the August 2023 test to 149,669 by August 2024, then to 158,446 by August 2025, equating to about 16,000 miles in the first interval and under 9,000 in the second. No standing periods or missing years appear in the record, and the clean test history across all three years indicates previous owners kept the car to a basic pass standard without flagged advisories. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and age, as MOT passes with no defects recorded do not capture wear below test thresholds. The absence of any corrosion, exhaust emission, or structural integrity flags in the DVSA data is reassuring, but components such as binding calipers or tired tyres can develop between tests without ever being noted. Given the duplicate pass-fail entries reflect clerical re-testing rather than fault trends, the vehicle presents as a consistently maintained high-mileage estate. Prior owners appear to have addressed statutory requirements annually, though the sparse record offers no insight into consumable replacement habits beyond the mandated minimum.
