2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FP10 VMY

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test, a pass recorded on 15 November 2024 at 118,143 miles with no defects listed. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with every pass and fail showing a clean defect sheet. The repeated fail-and-pass pairs on the same dates in 2023 and 2024 suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decline. Mileage sits at a plausible 118,143 for a 2010 car, averaging near 7,400 miles per year. The record jumps from 96,587 miles at the 5 September 2022 test to 103,916 miles by 18 November 2023, then to 118,143 miles by 15 November 2024. That equates to roughly 7,300 and 14,200 miles in the two intervals, showing a recent acceleration in use but no standing periods or missing annual tests. The sparse three-year trail with no advisories limits insight into wear cycles. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's sixteen-year age and the absence of any recorded advisories that might have flagged creeping corrosion or binding calipers. The clean sheets do not confirm structural integrity beneath sills or subframes, only that the tester logged nothing. The same-day fail and pass entries in November 2023 and November 2024 warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no omitted defects. Previous keepers kept the car tested yearly with no flagged consumable neglect, yet the lack of advisories on an older high-mileage Vauxhall warrants scrutiny of exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition before purchase.
