This 2013 Vauxhall Insignia has 15 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 144,034 miles. While it has a valid MOT until 2026, the pattern of issues and high mileage warrants careful consideration.
The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,568 miles/year, with a notable 43-mile decrease in July 2019 and a 79-mile increase in June 2021, indicating potential odometer anomalies.
Things to check
- May 2025: Nearside Rear Shock absorbers had a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b)) — a major safety concern.
- May 2025: Offside Rear Shock absorbers had a reduced damping effect (5.3.2 (d)) — indicates a broader suspension issue.

- May 2024: Offside Rear Shock absorbers had a reduced damping effect (5.3.2 (d)) — a related advisory.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-05-26, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No evidence of mileage tampering, despite high annual usage and one minor decrease.
- All major failures were promptly rectified and passed on the same or subsequent day.
- No persistent DANGEROUS defects remain unresolved from the most recent MOT.
