2018 VAUXHALL INSIGNIA1.6L Diesel

The 2018 Vauxhall Insignia holds a roadworthy status as confirmed by the most recent MOT on 16 January 2025 at 18,198 miles, where the examiner recorded no defects. Maintenance trend across the five-year DVSA history remains stable, with every pass free of advisories and no worsening mechanical pattern. Odometer readings show limited annual use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The test on 22 September 2022 captured 9,517 miles, rising to 15,725 miles by 8 September 2023, then 16,685 miles on 22 January 2024 and 18,198 miles a year later. That equates to roughly 2,275 miles per year overall, with a brief acceleration in 2023 before reverting to low accumulation. Sparse entries reveal a clean sheet, implying previous owners kept basic consumables within limits but the car likely stood idle for extended periods. One irregularity appears on 8 September 2023: a failure at 15,725 miles with no defects listed, followed by a pass the same day at identical mileage. This suggests either a data recording anomaly or a swift rectification of a non-mechanical criterion before retest. A purchaser should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity around chassis legs and sills for corrosion, scrutinise suspension bushes and coil springs for degradation from storage, and verify brake discs and calipers for binding after low rotation. The absence of recorded faults does not exempt these components from age-related wear.
