2009 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FN59 XWM

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 18 September 2024 at 162,362 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 18 September 2023 test at 158,762 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no escalating fault pattern across its documented history, and the absence of advisories in the latest examinations suggests the major wear items were within tolerance at the time of testing. The recorded mileage of 162,362 against a 2009 build date equates to roughly 9,551 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and points to steady, moderate use rather than neglect or excessive commercial duty. The test history is sparse but clean between passes, with only two failed entries logged on the same day, 6 September 2022 at 154,078 miles, where the DVSA system shows a fail and a pass recorded at identical mileage with no defects cited, followed by a further fail on 7 August 2023 at 158,321 miles also showing no defects. Such same-day duplicate outcomes usually reflect administrative re-test processing rather than mechanical fault, and no consumable or structural issues were flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the car is now 17 years old and has covered over 162,000 miles. The MOT record offers no warning on corrosion or exhaust emissions, yet age-related degradation of subframe mounts and anti-roll bar linkages is common on Insignias of this era and will not always trigger a tester defect until advanced. Given the clean advisory sheet across four years of tests, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the lack of recorded minor items such as tyre or wiper replacement suggests consumables were changed outside the test window. Verify service history and check for undocumented intermittent electrical faults on the 1.8 or 2.0 litre variants before purchase.
