2018 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · DV68 ABU

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-30 at 50,616 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the preceding test on 2025-08-29 at 50,612 miles showed a failure with no defects listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor technical issue unresolved. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, reinforcing that the car has maintained roadworthiness over its eight-year lifespan. Mileage progression shows a steady increase, from 20,601 miles in 2022 to 50,616 miles in 2025, averaging approximately 6,327 miles annually. This aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. The absence of defects across multiple tests implies consistent upkeep, though the failed 2025 test warrants scrutiny to confirm whether it was a procedural anomaly or an overlooked issue. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, particularly given the vehicle’s mileage. Corrosion in underbody areas, especially if the car has been exposed to coastal or salty environments, remains a potential risk. The lack of emissions-related failures is positive, but a visual check of the exhaust system is advisable to confirm structural integrity.
