2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FP11 XBU

The Vauxhall Insignia passed its most recent MOT on 16 September 2023 at 137,562 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend at the point of its last official test. The vehicle has not been presented for an MOT since that date, leaving a gap of roughly 33 months against today's date of 8 July 2026, so current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from the record alone. Recorded mileage rose from 130,209 at the failed test on 27 April 2022 to 137,562 by September 2023, a gain of just 7,353 miles across seventeen months. That equates to under 5,200 miles per year in this period, well below the lifetime average of around 9,171, and suggests the car saw light use or extended standing in its later recorded years. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories or noted wear on tyres, brakes, suspension, or structure at any stage. The two failure entries on 27 April 2022 and 9 June 2023 show no defects recorded against them, which points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody for corrosion, as a 15-year-old Vauxhall of this type commonly develops structural rust and worn consumables that a bare MOT pass does not capture. Given the elapsed time since the last test, treat the September 2023 pass as historical only. Verify the vehicle has since been taxed, insured, and voluntarily serviced, and confirm no sustained lay-up has degraded tyres, brake calipers, or fuel system components before any purchase.
