2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · LR64 OLV

This Vauxhall Insignia maintains a clean MOT record, with the most recent test on 3 September 2024 at 172,349 miles resulting in a pass. While the vehicle recorded a fail on the same day as the pass, the absence of specific defect codes suggests a procedural error or a clerical correction rather than a mechanical failure. The history shows a consistent trend of passing without advisories, indicating that the vehicle has been presented for testing in a compliant state for the last four years. The vehicle has covered 172,349 miles over twelve years, averaging approximately 14,362 miles annually. This high-mileage profile indicates the car has been used primarily for long-distance motorway travel rather than short, stop-start urban cycles. A significant spike in usage occurred between August 2021 and September 2022, where the odometer increased by over 31,000 miles in a single year. The current lack of recent MOT activity since September 2024 means the vehicle has not been tested for nearly ten months, leaving a gap in its current roadworthiness status. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear drivetrain components, as the high mileage will have accelerated the degradation of the clutch, flywheel, and turbocharger. Although the MOT history is clean, it does not account for internal engine wear or the condition of suspension bushes and ball joints, which often reach their service limit at this mileage. Check the underside for signs of corrosion on the subframes and inspect the brake discs for deep scoring or lip formation, as these items are frequently overlooked during visual inspections but remain critical for the vehicle's continued operation.
