2018 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · VU18 AEW

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent 2025-06-11 MOT at 144,774 miles. The prior three tests from 2024-05-23 (131,144 miles) to 2022-03-28 (91,288 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a 2023-04-05 entry shows both a pass and fail at the same mileage, which may reflect a data anomaly but does not confirm a mechanical problem. No advisories or critical faults are noted in the valid tests, suggesting the car has been well-maintained. The mileage of 144,774 miles over eight years equates to an average of 18,097 miles annually, which is above the typical range for this age. A significant jump from 91,288 miles in 2022 to 116,607 miles in 2023-04-05—over 25,000 miles in 13 months—suggests rapid usage, potentially accelerating wear on components like brakes, suspension, and tyres. Subsequent tests show slower accumulation, but the high total mileage remains a concern for long-term reliability, particularly with older vehicles. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as high mileage often leads to such degradation. Brake discs and pads should be checked for excessive wear, given the vehicle’s usage pattern. Corrosion, especially in underbody areas, and exhaust emissions compliance are also key areas to verify. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the vehicle’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical integrity.
