2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · MM10 AHP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-03-17 at 109,423 miles recorded a pass with no defects, yet an identical date also shows a fail with no recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests a potential data error or administrative oversight. Previous tests from 2025-10-27 (fail) and 2024-10-28 (pass) indicate a stable maintenance pattern, with no recurring mechanical faults noted. The absence of defects in all tests implies the car has met legal standards, but the repeated failures without explanations raise questions about underlying issues that may not have been resolved. The mileage progression shows a sharp increase from 90,826 miles (2024-10-28) to 109,411 miles (2025-10-27), reflecting approximately 18,585 miles driven in 12 months—a rate higher than the vehicle’s average annual usage. This could indicate heavy use or periods of inactivity followed by rapid accumulation. The 2023-10-27 test at 79,617 miles also showed no defects, suggesting consistent compliance with roadworthiness requirements over the past three years. However, the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake discs. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of suspension wear, particularly if the 2025-10-27 failure was related to unseen issues. Check for corrosion on underbody components, as the 2026-03-17 test’s ambiguity may mask structural concerns. Verify the condition of brake systems, including calipers and discs, and assess tyre tread depth, as higher mileage can accelerate wear. While MOT records show no critical faults, the recent administrative inconsistencies warrant a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical integrity.
