Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2016 model year cars.
- 1.6 CDTi timing chain rattleSerious
The “Whisper Diesel” 1.6 CDTi can sound anything but refined when the rear-mounted chain and tensioner begin to wear, and the repair is labour-intensive.
- NOx sensor and AdBlue faults (diesel)Moderate
Later diesel Insignias can develop SCR and NOx faults that trigger warning lights, poor running or restart-countdown messages.
- Electronic parking brake (EPB) failureModerate
The facelift did not eliminate EPB faults, so sticky rear calipers, weak motors or module issues still show up regularly on used cars.
