2009 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · PE09 OSD

The 2009 Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 15 June 2022 at 126,483 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding four annual tests also passed cleanly. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history. Annual mileage averages around 7,440 miles, which is typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. The records show steady accumulation: 75,460 miles in February 2018, rising to 91,978 by March 2019, 106,151 in February 2020, 117,973 in March 2021, and 126,483 by June 2022. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 tests stretched to fifteen months rather than twelve, but the added 8,510 miles stays within the expected range. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with five consecutive passes and zero advisories logged. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The absence of recorded advisories means worn suspension bushes, corroding subframes, or fatigued coil springs were not flagged, yet a car of this age and mileage will likely show age-related deterioration unseen by the test bay. Examine brake discs for lip wear, check exhaust emissions against current standards, and inspect sills and suspension mounts for structural rust. The previous owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current, given five untarnished passes. Low recorded fault counts suggest consumables such as tyres and wiper blades were replaced before each test. Verify service history to confirm engine and drivetrain intervals, as the MOT alone does not capture mechanical wear outside the tested items.
