2010 Vauxhall Insignia Sri 130 Cdti
CarHunch analysed 111 real MOT records for the 2010 Vauxhall Insignia Sri 130 Cdti. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2010 Insignia diesel struggles at the MOT with a 71.2% pass rate, sitting 8.8 points below the UK average—a meaningful gap that suggests you should factor in regular repair costs if considering one. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so major safety issues aren't the culprit.
These cars are averaging 104,500 miles for their age, which is typical, but the 0.77 failures per vehicle tells the real story: electrical, exhaust, or suspension problems are common enough that you should budget for attention before test time. Have any prospective purchase checked by a diesel specialist and ask the seller for recent MOT history—repeat failures are a red flag with this model.
What to check before buying a 2010 Vauxhall Insignia Sri 130 Cdti
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
