2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · PT04 ADE

The 2025‑12‑04 MOT at 108,888 miles confirms the Vauxhall Insignia remains roadworthy, with only a near‑side front sub‑frame and off‑side front sub‑frame corrosion noted as non‑serious weakening under 5.3.3 (b) (i). The record shows a stable maintenance pattern, as each successive test has passed without new structural failures, despite recurring sub‑frame corrosion that has persisted since 2024. Over the 12‑year lifespan the mileage has risen from 44,929 miles in June 2017 to 108,888 miles in December 2025, averaging roughly 9,074 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests are regular – about one per year – with no extended periods of inactivity evident, and the incremental mileage each year (4,641 miles in 2021‑2022, 3,264 miles in 2022‑2023, etc.) indicates consistent use rather than long standing periods. A buyer should therefore inspect the structural integrity of both front and rear sub‑frames for rust penetration, examine the condition of the rear upper suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive play, and verify that the near‑side front tyre wear remains within legal limits. Particular attention to the rear brakes for any binding calipers, the condition of the brake discs, and the exhaust emission levels is advisable, given the recurring corrosion and suspension advisories recorded in earlier tests.
