2016 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · HK16 ACO

The vehicle's most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-12-27 at 197,968 miles, recorded no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the test was over seven months prior to the current date, meaning the vehicle is not currently MOT-compliant. The prior test on 2025-06-26 at 185,553 miles also passed without issues, while the 2024-12-27 test at 182,311 miles passed despite a failed attempt on 2024-12-26 at the same mileage, though no defects were logged. This suggests the vehicle has maintained compliance in recent years, but the lack of data beyond 2025 raises concerns about its current condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 197,968 miles over 10 years equates to an average of 19,797 miles annually, which is above the typical range for its age. Notable mileage jumps include 9,771 miles between the 2024-06-28 test (172,540 miles) and the 2024-12-27 test (182,311 miles), followed by 12,415 miles in the subsequent six months. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions systems. The absence of recurring defects in the record suggests no systemic issues, but the high mileage warrants close scrutiny of drivetrain and corrosion risks. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or binding calipers, as high mileage often exacerbates these issues. Check for corrosion on underbody components, particularly around the exhaust system and chassis, and verify the condition of brake discs for uneven wear. The vehicle’s MOT history shows no structural integrity concerns, but the expired status as of 2026-07-21 means it requires immediate retesting before road use. No major advisories were recorded, but the lack of recent data limits confidence in its current mechanical state.
