2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · HJ13 GVF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-20 at 98,356 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the 2025-03-21 test at 87,971 miles shows conflicting outcomes: one pass and one fail with identical mileage and no defects listed, suggesting a possible administrative error. The 2024-03-25 test at 78,698 miles also recorded a pass and a fail with the same mileage, further complicating the trend. While the latest test is positive, the repeated inconsistencies in the MOT records raise questions about the reliability of the data and the vehicle’s maintenance consistency. The mileage of 98,356 miles over 13 years aligns with an average of 7,566 miles annually, which is typical for the model. A notable jump from 78,698 miles (2024-03-25) to 87,971 miles (2025-03-21) covers 9,273 miles in 12 months, slightly above average, while the 2026-03-20 test shows 11,385 miles added in 12 months. These figures suggest moderate usage but do not indicate excessive wear on consumables or major components. The MOT history, however, lacks specific defect details, making it difficult to assess mechanical deterioration beyond the recorded passes and fails. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension system, focusing on worn bushes and coil springs, which are common in older vehicles. The absence of brake-related defects in the MOT records does not preclude the need to check for binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, particularly given the model’s known susceptibility to these issues. Structural corrosion, especially in the underbody or chassis, should also be evaluated, as the vehicle’s age and mileage increase the risk. The inconsistent MOT entries underscore the importance of verifying the car’s service history and seeking a professional inspection for confirmation.
