2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FP14 DZE

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 174,422 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results since the only failure in late 2022. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or escalating mechanical concerns across the available history. Annual mileage averages near 14,535 miles, high for a 2014 car but consistent with steady motorway or commuter use rather than neglect. The records show smooth accumulation: 140,929 miles at the 8 November 2022 pass, 156,975 miles by 31 October 2023, 168,543 miles at the 11 November 2024 test, and 174,422 miles twelve months later. A short gap appears between the 29 October 2022 failure at 140,392 miles and the subsequent 8 November pass at 140,929 miles, suggesting a quick rectification though the failure listed no specific defect. The sparse record gives the buyer little to act on from past faults, yet the mileage demands a hands-on check of consumable and structural items. At 174,422 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and damper condition warrant close inspection for fatigue. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for wear and any binding after prolonged use. Exhaust emissions and underbody corrosion remain the silent risks on a twelve-year-old high-miler with no advisory trail. A pre-purchase examination beneath the sills and subframes is prudent, alongside verification of service history to confirm the intervals implied by the clean MOT run.
