Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT conducted on 21 July 2025 at 101,972 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in early 2024 and early 2023, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have maintained their integrity over the last two years. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. There is a notable spike in usage between January 2023 and July 2024, where the car covered over 14,000 miles in sixteen months. However, the rate settled back to roughly 11,800 miles between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests. The short interval between the January 2024 tests, involving a failure followed by a pass one week later, suggests the owner was proactive in addressing issues immediately upon a test failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and brake assembly, as these are common wear points on the Insignia at this mileage. While the record shows no recurring advisories, the 100,000-mile threshold often sees degradation on control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Given the age of the vehicle, check the underside for corrosion on the exhaust system and mounting points to ensure no structural degradation has gone undetected between the standard MOT inspections.
