2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · M666 ABJ

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a current roadworthy status following its most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 145,293 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the surrounding history reveals a peculiar pattern of paired failures and passes on consecutive days in both 2024 and 2025. These back-to-back tests at 132,376/132,379 miles and 145,156/145,293 miles suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than genuine mechanical faults, as no defects were listed on any failure certificate. The odometer shows 145,293 miles against a 2011 build, equating to roughly 9,686 miles per year, which sits within typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Annual increments are consistent: 119,548 miles in June 2023, 132,379 in June 2024, and 145,293 in June 2025, reflecting steady circa 12,000-mile yearly travel with no standing periods or abrupt accumulation. The DVSA record is sparse and clean, carrying no advisories or recorded wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust emissions, or corrosion across the five entries. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the unblemished defect list. The absence of advisories on a 15-year-old high-mileage Insignia is atypical; coil springs, suspension arm bushes, and brake disc wear are common at this age and mileage yet remain unlogged. The repeated same-day fail-pass cycles in 2024 and 2025 warrant scrutiny of the test centre's conduct and confirmation the June 2025 pass reflects true condition. Given the 13-month gap since the last test relative to today's date of 16 July 2026, the vehicle is now overdue its next MOT. Verify structural integrity underneath for rust, check brake caliper operation, and confirm tyre tread depths before purchase, as none of these were evidenced in the official record.
