2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · P11 CAS

The 2010 Vauxhall Insignia presents an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, demonstrated by clean passes across its most recent annual inspections. In the December 2015 test at 66,734 miles, the vehicle secured a straight pass with zero defects recorded. This mirrors the spotless inspection outcomes from December 2024, December 2023, and December 2022, where the car also cleared testing without a single advisory. An earlier test on December 13, 2022, recorded a formal failure alongside a pass on the exact same day, which typically indicates a administrative retest or a minor item rectified immediately on-site, leaving no lingering mechanical defects on the record. Accumulating just 66,734 miles over its sixteen-year lifespan translates to an average of roughly 4,171 miles annually, marking this Insignia as a very low-mileage example for its age. This sparse accumulation suggests lighter urban usage or extended periods where the vehicle remained parked. Low mileage preserves core drivetrain components but introduces specific risks regarding rubber perishing, seized brake calipers, and battery degradation from infrequent use. Inspecting this car in person requires focusing on components vulnerable to age-related deterioration rather than chronic failure trends, given the complete absence of recurring advisory items. A thorough ramp inspection should examine the lower suspension arms, coil springs, and subframe mountings for surface corrosion typical of a sixteen-year-old Vauxhall. Verify the condition of the brake discs and pads during a test drive to ensure the low mileage has not caused corrosion pitting or uneven pad contact from standing idle during damp winter months.
