2015 VAUXHALL INSIGNIA1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent MOT test conducted in November 2025 at 166,203 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean streak suggests that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard that meets minimum safety requirements without immediate mechanical or structural failures typically seen in high-mileage older cars. At 166,203 miles, this Insignia significantly exceeds the national average, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per annum. The data shows a consistent usage pattern with intervals of roughly 9,000 to 13,000 miles between each annual test. For instance, the vehicle covered 9,310 miles between the October 2022 test at 137,801 miles and the October 2023 test at 147,111 miles. This steady accumulation indicates long-distance motorway driving rather than short city trips, which is generally better for engine components but places high demand on the drivetrain and suspension over time. Despite the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection must focus on components prone to wear at this mileage level. The buyer should specifically inspect the front control arm bushes and rubber mounts for tearing, as these frequently fail on the Insignia platform after such use. The braking system should also be checked for caliper binding or thinning discs, as the MOT only identifies these issues once they reach failure thresholds. Given the age and high mileage, checking for structural corrosion on the rear sills and mounting points is essential to ensure the high mileage has not led to accelerated degradation.
