2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · YH64 ABO

The Vauxhall Insignia’s most recent MOT on 4 October 2025—just nine months ago—confirms it passed without defects at 208,106 miles, maintaining a consistent clean record across all tests since September 2022. There is no evidence of recurring advisories or repeated failures, suggesting the vehicle has been reliably maintained through its three-year MOT cycle. However, the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear; the absence of advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding brake calipers in prior tests does not guarantee current condition, particularly given the high mileage. The recorded mileage of 208,106 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 17,342 miles annually, which is elevated for a vehicle of this age. Between September 2022 and October 2025, the vehicle accumulated 30,388 miles in just three years—a rate that exceeds typical long-term usage patterns. Notably, there is no gap in MOT testing, indicating consistent registration and testing compliance, though the rapid mileage accumulation implies accelerated wear on high-stress components such as tyres, brakes, and suspension. Given the high mileage and lack of advisories in prior MOTs, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension geometry, particularly the rear subframe and bushings, as these are common failure points in high-mileage Vauxhalls. The brakes should be scrutinised for uneven wear or glazing on the pads, as well as the structural integrity of the discs and calipers, which may have degraded despite passing tests. Corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should also be examined, as prolonged exposure to road salt or moisture can compromise structural integrity over time. Finally, the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive rust, especially near the catalytic converter and oxygen sensors, which are prone to failure in high-mileage vehicles.
