2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · DE16 ABO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-10 at 79,342 miles recorded a PASS, but an identical date also shows a FAIL with 79,338 miles, suggesting a data inconsistency. Prior tests from 2024 and 2023 show a pattern of alternating PASS and FAIL results without recorded defects, indicating potential administrative errors or unaddressed minor issues. Despite this, the absence of critical failures in the latest test implies the vehicle remains roadworthy, though the erratic MOT outcomes raise questions about maintenance consistency. The mileage of 79,342 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 7,934 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. However, the jump from 65,130 miles in 2024 to 79,342 miles in 2025 reflects a 14,212-mile increase in 12 months, which may indicate accelerated wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The sparse defect records in earlier tests do not reveal structural corrosion or major mechanical faults, but the rapid mileage growth warrants scrutiny of component longevity. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as well as brake components for uneven wear or binding, given the vehicle’s high mileage. The lack of recorded exhaust emissions issues is positive, but the repeated MOT cycles without defects suggests potential oversight in addressing minor faults. No structural rust or integrity concerns are noted, but the inconsistent MOT data underscores the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
