2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FP13 OSL

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 10 September 2024 at 98,337 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle carries no advisories or defects across any test, and the most recent pass confirms acceptable condition roughly 22 months before today's date. Prior to that pass, the car failed on 9 September 2024 at identical mileage with no defects logged, a pattern repeated when it failed on 14 September 2023 at 90,339 miles then passed seven days later at 90,343 miles with no faults recorded. Annual mileage averages around 7,564 miles against the car's 2013 build, a typical figure for this age bracket. The records show steady accumulation: 81,643 miles in July 2022, 90,339 by September 2023, and 98,337 by September 2024, equating to roughly 8,000 to 9,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA data is sparse, listing only five entries over three years, and all show zero advisories, which limits insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the thirteen-year age and absence of recorded advisories that older Vauxhalls often accrue. The repeated fail-pass pairs at matching mileages suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defects, yet structural integrity and exhaust emissions remain unverified by the clean sheets. Given the two consecutive years of same-day resubmission after failure with no defects cited, previous owners likely used the MOT lane for retesting rather than addressing flagged items, though the lack of recorded faults prevents confirmation of skipped upkeep. Physical checks of underbody corrosion and tyre tread depth are advised before purchase.
