2009 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FN59 XTC

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2021-11-02 at 122,414 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. A prior test on 2021-10-29 at 122,391 miles resulted in a fail, though no specific issues were noted. This narrow window of two MOTs, separated by just three days, suggests either a procedural error or a minor, unresolved fault that was subsequently corrected. The absence of recorded defects in the latest test implies the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at that time, but the lack of subsequent MOT data—over five years old—raises concerns about its current mechanical state. The vehicle’s mileage of 122,414 miles over 17 years equates to approximately 7,201 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. No significant gaps or spikes in mileage are evident from the provided records, indicating consistent, moderate operation. However, the sparse MOT history—only two entries spanning 23 days—limits insight into long-term maintenance trends. The absence of recurring issues in the tests does not confirm ongoing reliability, as the data lacks depth for a comprehensive assessment. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system, suspension components, and exhaust emissions, as these areas often develop latent faults without MOT failures. The close proximity of the two MOTs, both with no defects, does not preclude hidden wear in critical systems. Structural integrity and corrosion should also be evaluated, particularly given the vehicle’s age. Without updated MOT records or a detailed service history, the buyer must rely on physical checks to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the limited data provided.
