2011 Vauxhall Insignia SRI NAV Cdti 2.0L Heavy oil · HFZ 7918

The 9 December 2025 MOT at 120,382 miles confirms the Vauxhall Insignia remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a stable maintenance trend evident across eight consecutive tests. The mileage progression shows a steady increase of roughly 8,000 miles per year, matching the vehicle’s 15‑year age, and the jump from 103,693 miles in July 2024 to 120,382 miles in December 2025 represents an acceleration of about 3,300 miles per month, indicating heightened usage during that period. The interval between the May 2023 failure and the June 2023 pass was only one month, yet no defects were logged, suggesting the issue was corrected promptly. There is a gap in the 2020 record, but the overall pattern remains continuous, with each test reflecting regular maintenance intervals. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify that the rear brake calipers are not binding, and inspect the brake discs for scoring or excessive run‑out, as these components commonly show signs of age even when MOTs record no defects. Given the vehicle’s age, a close look at the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially around the sill and rear subframe, is advisable. The exhaust system should be checked for corrosion and ensure emission levels remain within limits. Uneven tyre wear could indicate alignment or suspension issues, so tyre condition and tread depth merit inspection. The consistent pass record points to diligent ownership, but a thorough in‑person evaluation of the highlighted mechanical items remains essential for confirming long‑term reliability.
