2016 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · DA16 LXT

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 84,769 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass showing a clean sheet and no advisories logged for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A minor anomaly appears in the failed test of 27 January 2026 at 84,764 miles, which listed no defects; the vehicle passed three days later with no work noted, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage sits at a typical 8,477 miles per year for a 2016 car. The test on 17 November 2022 at 77,192 miles sits above the 71,285 miles logged on 1 February 2024, an apparent reversal that indicates a missed or unrecorded 2023 test rather than genuine mileage rollback. From November 2022 to January 2025 the odometer fell then rose to 76,455 miles, before climbing 8,314 miles to the January 2026 figure. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural care. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the ten-year age and the unexplained gap in annual testing. The brake calipers, coil springs, and exhaust emissions system carry no flagged issues in the DVLA data but warrant physical verification, as MOT passes with zero advisories often omit early wear. Confirm the reason for the January 2026 failure with the presenting garage, since a no-defect fail is unusual and may reflect a documentation error rather than a roadworthiness concern.
