2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · BD65 GPV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2025-10-31 at 77,931 miles, with no defects recorded. The prior test on 2025-10-23 at 77,747 miles resulted in a failure, though no specific defects were logged. This suggests either a technical error or a minor issue resolved between tests. The absence of recorded faults in the latest assessment indicates a stable maintenance trend, with no immediate mechanical risks identified. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,793 miles annually. Notable gaps include a 6,136-mile increase between 2023-01-05 (40,016 miles) and 2023-11-02 (46,152 miles), followed by a 20,859-mile jump to 67,011 miles by 2024-10-11. These intervals suggest periods of moderate to frequent use, with no evidence of prolonged inactivity. The final 10,920 miles to 77,931 miles were recorded over 12 months, consistent with average annual wear. A buyer should verify suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, warrant inspection for uneven wear or corrosion, as these often degrade with time. Structural integrity should also be assessed, focusing on rust-prone areas like sills and underbody panels. While MOT records show no critical failures, the unexplained 2025-10-23 failure underscores the need for a hands-on evaluation to confirm component reliability.
