2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · HT61 BLZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on November 1 2024 at 111,196 miles with no defects recorded. While the history shows two instances of failure, these were rectified immediately, resulting in subsequent passes. The lack of advisories in the 2024 and 2023 tests suggests that the vehicle is currently in a good state of repair and meets minimum safety and emissions standards without signs of ongoing mechanical degradation or structural failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per annum. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the car covered 5,702 miles, followed by another 6,339 miles in the year leading to the November 2024 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular use rather than long periods of standing, which often helps preserve engine seals and rubber components. The recorded failures in September 2022 and October 2024 occurred at very short intervals before the successful passes, suggesting minor adjustments or consumable-related failures that were addressed just before the official inspection. Given the clean nature of the recent records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components known to wear on this specific generation of the Vauxhall Insignia. Check the condition of the front suspension wishbones and rubber bushings, as these are common points of failure on this platform. Inspect the chassis for corrosion around the sills and rear mounting points, as the MOT does not always catch surface rust. The absence of recurring advisories for brake leaks or exhaust systems indicates a sound mechanical foundation for further use.
