2019 Vauxhall Insignia 1.5L Petrol · KD19 FKM

The vehicle presents a clean MOT history with four consecutive passes from June 2022 to June 2025, showing no recorded defects. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 1,932 miles confirms a stable maintenance pattern with no recurring mechanical or structural issues identified by the official tester. This consistent pass rate indicates the car has met the minimum legal safety standards at each annual inspection without developing apparent faults requiring rectification. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 276 miles per year over the last seven years. The recorded increments are modest: 131 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, 152 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 129 miles between 2024 and 2025. This pattern suggests very limited regular use, possibly with extended periods of inactivity. While low mileage can reduce wear on drivetrain components, it may contribute to age-related degradation in rubber seals, tyres, and brake components that are not always captured by an MOT inspection. The absence of any mileage-related advisories in the record is notable. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components susceptible to deterioration from infrequent use. Examine all four tyres for sidewall age cracking and potential flat-spotting from prolonged standing. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion, particularly on the inner faces, and verify that the brake calipers move freely without binding. Check suspension bushes and rubber gaiters for dryness or perishing. Given the vehicle's age, scrutinise the underside and wheel arches for any structural corrosion, especially around the sills and suspension mounting points, even though the MOT history shows no structural advisories. The exhaust system should also be assessed for rust perforation. The official record provides no evidence of neglect or developing faults. However, the extremely low annual mileage warrants careful assessment of age-related perishable items. The mechanical verdict rests on the buyer's in-person verification of these specific areas, as the MOT history alone, while clean, does not account for degradation caused solely by the passage of time and lack of use.
