2018 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · SA68 EHZ

The roadworthiness status of this Vauxhall Insignia is currently valid, anchored by a pass on December 12, 2024, at 78,266 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable based on consecutive clean passes spanning December 2023 and December 2024, though this clean surface masks a curious anomaly from late 2023. Specifically, the vehicle accumulated a test failure on October 10, 2023, which was cleared less than two months later by the December test, though the DVSA database logs no specific defects for either of those 2023 examinations. The vehicle accumulates mileage at a rate roughly typical for its age, sitting at 78,266 miles across roughly eight years on the road. Annual testing intervals reveal consistent usage patterns without extended periods of inactivity or severe high-mileage accumulation. Tests progressed steadily from October 2021 at an unspecified mileage through September 2022, October 2023, December 2023, and concluding with the December 2024 test. The absence of logged advisories across all five recorded tests indicates that consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension components did not trigger formal DVSA warnings during annual inspections. Inspecting this vehicle in person requires careful scrutiny of wear items that escape algorithmic MOT tracking, particularly given the lack of advisory text in the history. Buyers must physically check the condition of the brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs for premature wear or corrosion. The underlying chassis structural integrity and exhaust system mountings should also be examined on a ramp to verify that the absence of historical test advisories reflects genuine mechanical health rather than superficial pre-test preparation.
