2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FP14 DLX

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent pass on 10 April 2025 at 175,486 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The April 2025 test passed with no defects recorded, though it followed a same-day failure at 175,471 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly in February 2024 at 162,044 miles and April 2022 at 149,489 miles, showing no recurring advisories or worsening condition across the three-year span. At roughly 14,624 miles per year, the 175,486 recorded miles sit high for a 2014 vehicle, reflecting consistent use rather than prolonged standing. The gap between the April 2022 pass at 149,489 miles and the February 2024 test at 162,044 miles shows about 12,555 miles in under two years, a normal accumulation rate. A further 13,442 miles elapsed by April 2025, confirming steady motorway or commuter-type mileage with no abrupt spikes that would suggest commercial abuse. The DVSA record carries no advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions at any stage. The repeated same-day fail-and-pass pairs in February 2024 and April 2025, both with zero defects noted, point to documentation errors at the testing station rather than owner neglect. This clean history implies previous owners kept basic consumables within limits, though the absence of advisories on a 12-year, 175k-mile car is unusual and warrants verification. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the age and mileage, and confirm the brake calipers and suspension components are free of binding or worn bushes not captured by the bare MOT log. The high mileage means drivetrain wear on the clutch, turbo, and gearbox remains unassessed by the record and should be checked on a road test before purchase.
