2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · SB14 OAL

The vehicle displays a stable and commendable maintenance trend, evidenced by four consecutive clean passes in the most recent annual inspections. Since the pass on 21 August 2025 at 128,365 miles, the car has maintained a clear record without any recorded defects or advisories. This consistency indicates that the previous owner prioritised essential upkeep, effectively mitigating the risks typically associated with a vehicle of this age and mileage. The recorded mileage of 128,365 over twelve years averages approximately 10,700 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage patterns for a Vauxhall Insignia. The record shows a steady accumulation of roughly 6,500 to 10,000 miles between annual tests, suggesting the car has been used regularly rather than left standing for extended periods. The brief failure on 13 April 2022 followed by an immediate pass the next day at 103,164 miles suggests a minor administrative or easily rectified issue rather than a significant mechanical failure, as no defects were logged against the vehicle. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the components that often escape the scope of an MOT test, such as the condition of the clutch and dual-mass flywheel, which are common wear items on high-mileage diesel Insignias. While the MOT history is clean, check for any signs of oil leaks around the turbocharger or evidence of cooling system neglect, as these are not always flagged during a standard test. Inspect the underside for any early signs of corrosion on the subframes and ensure the electronic parking brake functions correctly, as these systems can become sluggish with age. Given the clean history, the car appears to have been well-maintained, but a comprehensive check of the service history for oil changes and timing belt replacement remains essential to ensure long-term reliability.
