2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FP60 AAE

The Vauxhall Insignia last secured a clean MOT pass on 16 February 2023 at 127,685 miles, with the tester recording no defects. Across the five entries from February 2021 to February 2023 the maintenance trend remains stable, as no advisories or mechanical faults appear. The record shows a curious pattern: on 15 February 2023 the car failed at 127,682 miles with no defects logged, then passed one day later; an identical sequence occurred on 8 and 11 February 2022 at 115,547 and 115,577 miles. Such fail-pass pairs with negligible mileage accumulation point to administrative or documentation issues rather than escalating mechanical decay. Mileage advanced from 104,491 at the 9 February 2021 test to 115,577 by 11 February 2022, a yearly gain of 11,086 miles. The following twelve months added 12,108 miles to reach the final recorded 127,685. These figures run slightly above the ~7,980 miles per annum average for a 2010 vehicle, indicating steady regular use without extended dormancy. The DVSA history terminates in early 2023; relative to today's date of 16 July 2026 the last test stands more than three years stale, leaving current roadworthiness unverified by official data. A buyer should not interpret the absence of recorded defects as a guarantee of fault-free condition. At sixteen years old and 127,685 miles, the Insignia demands physical inspection of suspension bushes, front coil springs, and rear trailing arms for fatigue or corrosion. The tester should examine brake discs for lipping and calipers for binding, and assess exhaust emissions against current limits. Structural integrity around sills and subframe requires close scrutiny for rust pitting. The anomalous failures without listed defects warrant a request for the original test refusal sheets to confirm no hidden rectification occurred.
