2009 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · KR09 JVF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record following a single minor setback. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 March 2024 at 174,865 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum safety and emissions standards. This follows a successful re-test in March 2023 where the vehicle passed immediately after a failure on the previous day, suggesting the owner is proactive in rectifying issues to maintain a valid certificate. The mileage accumulation remains consistent with a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per annum. Between May 2020 and May 2021, the car covered 9,941 miles, showing a standard pattern of use. A more significant gap appears between May 2021 and March 2023, where only 3,927 miles were recorded over nearly two years. This period of lower usage likely spared the drivetrain and suspension from the rapid wear often associated with high-mileage engines, though it sometimes leads to rubber component degradation during stationary intervals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to high-mileage Insignia models that do not always appear on MOT records. Given the 174,865-mile mark, a thorough check of the rear subframe and suspension bushes is essential, as these frequently perish before failing a test. Inspect the underside for structural corrosion on the sills and brake pipe lines, as the MOT history shows no advisories for rust but does not guarantee the absence of deep-seated oxidation on a vehicle of this age.
