2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · VO60 FSZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-18 at 122,448 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but a preceding failure on 2025-08-16 at 122,447 miles also showed no defects. This suggests either a procedural error or a test anomaly, as no mechanical issues were documented. The prior tests from 2024 and 2023 consistently passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance record over the past three years. However, the abrupt failure and subsequent pass within two days raise questions about the reliability of the testing process, warranting further scrutiny. The vehicle’s mileage of 122,448 miles aligns with an average annual usage of 7,653 miles, consistent with its 16-year age. The MOT history shows regular testing intervals, with no significant gaps or rapid mileage surges. The 2023-08-25 failure and pass at 111,829 and 111,833 miles, respectively, occurred within days, but again, no defects were noted. This pattern suggests minimal mechanical degradation, though the lack of detailed defect reports limits insight into potential underlying issues. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often degrade over time without immediate MOT failures. The exhaust system and brake discs should also be checked for corrosion or wear, as these can develop gradually. While the MOT records show no critical faults, the recent testing inconsistencies highlight the importance of a pre-purchase mechanical survey to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the recorded data.
