2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · J1 SSV

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 24 February 2026 at 68,323 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 24 February 2025 at 66,272 miles. The vehicle shows no advisories or recurring mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards over the past two years. Recorded mileage sits at 68,323 against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 5,694 miles per year. The DVSA data shows light annual use: 63,592 miles in February 2024, 66,272 by February 2025, and 68,323 by February 2026. Two failed tests appear in early 2024 and 2025, both dated days before the eventual passes, yet the records list no defects on either failure. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical non-compliance, though the absence of stated reasons prevents firm diagnosis. Low mileage for age can mask deterioration from prolonged standing, particularly on suspension bushes, brake calipers, and tyres. The clean record gives no flag for corrosion or exhaust emissions, but a buyer should still verify underbody structural integrity and check for seized handbrake mechanisms given the car's likely static periods between short journeys. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm brake disc condition and look for flat spots on tyres from low-speed storage. The history implies a cautious, low-use owner who kept the car legally tested, but physical inspection remains essential to catch latent wear the MOT did not record.
