2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.8L Petrol · SW10 MKU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 21 June 2025 at 154,373 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. While a failure occurred in late May 2023 at 131,202 miles, the immediate rectification and subsequent years of clean passes suggest the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related faults. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,650 miles per year. Between the June 2022 test at 123,034 miles and the June 2025 test at 154,373 miles, the car covered 31,339 miles, representing a steady usage pattern of roughly 10,400 miles annually. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not suffered from the degradation of long periods of standing, which is often beneficial for the health of rubber seals and drivetrain components compared to stationary vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points for the Insignia of this era. Although the record shows no current advisories, the high mileage necessitates a check of the suspension geometry, specifically control arm bushes and coil springs which often wear prematurely at this distance. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough inspection for corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches is essential, as the MOT only checks for structural integrity once it reaches a critical threshold. Testing the brake system for binding calipers or uneven wear on the discs would also be prudent to ensure the clean MOT history is reflected in the actual mechanical condition.
