2018 Vauxhall Insignia 1.5L Petrol · YY03 NAT

The 2018 Vauxhall Insignia demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-11-11 at 52,988 miles, which recorded a pass with no defects. The prior two tests in 2024-11-13 (49,549 miles) and 2024-11-12 (same mileage) showed conflicting outcomes—pass and fail—without recorded defects, suggesting potential administrative errors or minor unresolved issues. The 2023 tests at 38,954 miles also showed a pass and fail on the same day, though no defects were noted. This pattern indicates inconsistent testing outcomes but no persistent mechanical failures in the recorded history. The vehicle’s mileage of 52,988 miles aligns with an average of 6,624 miles annually, typical for its age. However, a significant jump from 38,954 miles (2023-11-14) to 49,549 miles (2024-11-13) reflects a 10,595-mile increase in 12 months, exceeding the annual average. This rapid accumulation could accelerate wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The sparse defect records in recent tests suggest no immediate concerns, but the lack of detailed findings limits confidence in the vehicle’s long-term mechanical health. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as rapid mileage increases can stress these parts. The brakes, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny due to the 2024-11-12 failure, even without recorded defects. Structural integrity should also be checked, as corrosion or rust is common in older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the inconsistent test outcomes and limited data mean a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
