2016 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BL16 ABX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 March 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test three days prior on 14 March 2025, the record lists no specific defects for either the failure or the subsequent pass, suggesting a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern shows consistent, high usage. The odometer rose from 81,646 miles in February 2022 to 120,640 miles by March 2025. This equates to roughly 39,000 miles covered in three years, confirming the vehicle has been used heavily for long-distance travel. The lack of advisories across multiple years of testing is unusual for a car of this age and mileage, which typically indicates a proactive approach to maintenance or a very light duty cycle despite the high mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that the MOT may not fully quantify. Given the 120,640 miles on the clock, check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for any signs of sticking. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural issues in the MOT history is positive, but a manual check of the underbody and sills is still necessary to verify the integrity of the chassis. Verify the service history to ensure the engine oil and timing belt have been changed in line with the high mileage, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness and not internal mechanical health.
