2009 Vauxhall Insignia 1.8L Petrol · SP59 XLW

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 25 June 2025 at 98,024 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a pattern of passing tests without any listed advisories, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 5,766 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between June 2023 and June 2024, where the odometer rose from 71,308 to 85,743 miles. A similar jump occurred between June 2024 and June 2025, adding 12,281 miles to the total. This indicates the vehicle has transitioned from very light use to more regular annual mileage in the last two years. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the lack of any recorded advisories over several years is unusual for a seventeen year old Vauxhall. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and suspension mounting points for corrosion, as structural rust often develops regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing or cracks, which are common age-related failures that may not always trigger an immediate MOT failure if they remain marginally acceptable. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and filters have been changed regularly. Low-mileage vehicles that stand for long periods can suffer from degraded fluids and perished tyres. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check that the calipers are not seizing, as these components can deteriorate from inactivity even when the mileage remains low.
