VAUXHALL INSIGNIA2015 · 1.6L Diesel

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in its most recent inspection in March 2026 at 95,241 miles. This result shows no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets minimum functional standards for safety and emissions. Following a brief failure in early March 2024, the vehicle has undergone three consecutive tests without advisories, suggesting that the previous owner addressed immediate issues and maintained a consistent mechanical standard. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between the February 2023 test at 76,580 miles and the March 2026 test at 95,241 miles, the car covered roughly 18,600 miles, reflecting a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation. This regular use typically reduces the risk of dry-related damage to seals and components, though the low annual mileage suggests the drivetrain and suspension components may have remaining age-related life. While the MOT history is clean of recurring faults, a buyer must focus on the common weak points of the Insignia platform at this mileage bracket. The lack of advisories for suspension bushes or corrosion is positive, but a physical inspection should target the lower control arms and subframe to ensure no hidden structural rust remains. Check the brake calipers for binding or uneven wear on the discs and mounting points. Given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, verifying the timing belt history and the condition of the cooling system is essential, as these are not captured in a standard MOT test.
