2013 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · YP63 BJV

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a currently roadworthy status, with the most recent DVSA test on 9 December 2025, some seven months before the present date of 9 July 2026, returning a pass at 143,053 miles with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available history reads as stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults across successive examinations. The single anomaly of a failure logged on 5 November 2024 at 141,373 miles, paired with a pass on the same date and mileage and no defects noted, indicates either a procedural re-test or an unrecorded minor presentation issue rather than a worsening condition. The record spans just five entries from October 2022 to December 2025, leaving the buyer without data for earlier years. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. From the 6 October 2022 test at 124,458 miles to the 26 October 2023 test at 137,990 miles the car covered 13,532 miles in roughly twelve months, equating to near-average annual use. The gap between 2023 and the dual 2024 entries shows a further 3,383 miles added by November 2024, then only 1,680 miles to December 2025. Such low recent yearly distance suggests lighter running in the last year, though the sparse five-entry record limits deep trend analysis. Buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable and structural elements prone to wear at this age and mileage. The MOT record flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns, yet high-mileage Insignias often develop worn front lower arms and rear trailing arm bushes not always caught in a pass. Examine brake calipers for binding, check subframe and sills for structural rust, and verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition despite no advisories. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory test compliance without neglected failures on tyres or lighting. The clean defect list across three consecutive annual passes implies basic upkeep kept pace with consumable replacement. Given the 143,053-mile odometer, a pre-purchase appraisal of drivetrain noise, clutch operation on manual variants, and coolant integrity remains prudent to confirm the paper record translates to sound mechanical health.
