2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FP10 XSE

The maintenance trend for this 2010 Vauxhall Insignia is stable, demonstrating consistent roadworthiness across its documented history. The most recent test on 24 November 2023 at 160,944 miles passed with zero defects, mirroring the clean pass recorded on 23 November 2022. A minor anomaly exists in the 2022 record, where a test on 21 November at 151,732 miles shows a failure despite listing no defects, followed by a clean pass just two days later at 151,735 miles. This three-mile discrepancy and contradictory outcome likely indicate an aborted test or administrative error rather than a sudden mechanical fault. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging roughly 9,400 miles per year over the recorded period. Between November 2021 and November 2022, the odometer advanced by 9,622 miles, and by 9,209 miles in the following year. However, the record ends abruptly in November 2023. With the current date being July 2026, there is a gap of nearly three years with no documented MOT, meaning the car's current mechanical condition is entirely unverified by recent official testing. Given the absence of recurring mechanical advisories, a buyer should focus on age-related deterioration rather than specific recurring faults. At sixteen years old and over 160,000 miles, inspect the undercarriage thoroughly for structural corrosion, particularly around the subframes, sills, and suspension mounting points. Check the condition of the coil springs and suspension bushes for wear, as high-mileage examples frequently suffer from fatigued damping and degraded rubber components. Brake disc thickness and pad life should be measured, alongside a close inspection of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaking joints. Tyre age and sidewall cracking also warrant attention, as the lack of recent use could mean the current rubber is perished rather than worn.
