2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · GU14 PXZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding mechanical and emissions components. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 104,028 miles, this followed a failure just five days prior at 103,814 miles. The recurring failure of exhaust emissions tests in both 2024 and 2026 suggests a persistent issue with the fuel management system or sensors that has not been fully resolved through standard reactive repairs. At 104,028 miles, the Insignia has averaged approximately 8,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The data shows a significant increase in activity, with 24,559 miles covered between October 2024 and February 2026. This rapid accumulation combined with the failure of shock absorber shrouds in 2024 and ball joints in early 2026 suggests that the owner only addresses faults when strictly necessary to pass the MOT test rather than performing preventative maintenance. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the exhaust system and engine performance to identify the cause of the repeated emissions failures. The rear suspension requires close attention as both the nearside and offside arm ball joints were flagged for play in the February 2026 test. These components are nearing the end of their functional life and will require replacement soon to prevent further degradation. Additionally, verify the condition of the rear shock absorbers, as the detached shrouds noted in 2024 indicate potential wear or physical damage to the units.
