2016 VAUXHALL INSIGNIA2.0L Diesel

The 2016 Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 18 November 2025 at 30,216 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2022 to 2024 also show clean sheets. The only blemish is a failed test on 23 November 2023 at 25,692 miles that recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass at 25,693 miles the same day, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record moves from 21,882 miles at the 30 November 2022 test to 25,693 miles in November 2023, then 28,221 miles in November 2024 and 30,216 miles in November 2025. That equates to roughly 3,000 miles per year, confirming light use with no rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps between tests. The sparse, clean history suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory testing but the low annual distance means long standing periods are likely. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as extended idle time promotes perished rubber components and seized mechanisms that a no-defect MOT will not always expose. Corrosion on structural members and underbody seams warrants close examination given the vehicle's age and likely outdoor storage. Exhaust emissions and drivetrain wear appear unremarkable across the five-year record, yet the same low-mileage pattern that hides faults also limits evidence of sustained mechanical conditioning. Verify service history against the MOT mileages before purchase.
