2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · NV66 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data, though the record is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 3 January 2023 at 108,822 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This indicates the car met the minimum legal safety standards at that time, but the absence of any MOT entries since early 2023 means the vehicle has been off the road or untested for over three years. The mileage pattern shows a sharp increase in usage during the middle of the vehicle's life. Between 7 January 2020 and 4 January 2021, the car covered 24,713 miles. This accelerated pace continued into 2022, with the mileage climbing from 55,947 to 82,981 miles in a single year. The usage then plateaued, as the odometer remained at 108,822 miles from January 2023 through to the current date. A buyer must prioritize a fresh mechanical inspection due to the long period of inactivity. Standing for over three years often leads to seized brake calipers, perished tyre sidewalls, and degraded battery health. While the MOT history is remarkably clean with no recorded failures for suspension bushes, coil springs, or structural corrosion, this lack of data may simply reflect a lenient testing regime rather than a flawless mechanical state. Focus the physical inspection on the braking system and fluid integrity. Check for brake disc corrosion and ensure the engine oil and coolant have been refreshed to prevent internal sludge or leaks. Given the age of the vehicle and the previous high-mileage bursts, a thorough check of the suspension components and tyre tread depth is essential to ensure the car is safe for immediate road use.
