2011 Vauxhall Insignia 1.8L Petrol · FN61 OKB

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 18 August 2025 at 108,883 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 10 September 2024 test at 101,225 miles also passed cleanly. The only blemish in the sequence is a failure logged on 9 September 2024 at 101,204 miles, reversed within twenty-four hours by a pass, with no defects listed on either entry. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault requiring rectification. Mileage accumulation sits close to typical for a 2011 vehicle, averaging roughly 7,259 miles per year against the 108,883 miles recorded. The gap between the 31 May 2022 test at 77,327 miles and the 12 June 2023 test at 88,046 miles shows about 10,700 miles covered, then a larger jump of 13,179 miles to the September 2024 readings. The final year to August 2025 added only 7,658 miles. No standing periods or abrupt accumulation spikes raise concern; the record is sparse but consistently clean outside the one-day failure anomaly. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's fifteen-year age and exceeding 100,000 miles. The MOT history flags no corrosion, structural integrity issues, or binding calipers, yet tests with zero advisories at this mileage often omit wear margin detail visible only on a ramp. Verify the 9 September 2024 failure reason via the DVSA portal, as the blank defect field provides no technical explanation for the rejected certificate. Confirm tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions during a viewing, and expect consumable items such as wiper blades to need routine replacement despite the clean test ledger.
