2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.4L Petrol · DN16 UGK

The Vauxhall Insignia passed its most recent MOT on 2 March 2026 at 101,599 miles with only a worn smooth brake pedal advisory. The maintenance trend is stable. The vehicle has cleared every annual test from 2022 through 2026 with no failures and only minor consumable or non-structural advisories, indicating reasonable upkeep by prior owners. Mileage rose from 70,684 in the 4 March 2022 test to 101,599 by March 2026, an average of roughly 7,700 miles per year across that span. This sits below the 10,160 miles per year norm for the car's age. The record shows no gaps longer than thirteen months between tests and no sudden accumulation spikes, suggesting steady private or light fleet use rather than neglect or excessive commercial duty. The March 2024 test at 87,846 miles flagged rear brake pads wearing thin and child seats blocking belt inspection; the March 2026 advisory for a smooth brake pedal points to gradual pedal wear rather than binding calipers or disc issues. A buyer should confirm rear pad thickness and disc condition, and check the pedal rubber for excessive wear. The February 2025 pass at 94,405 miles noted a minor front exhaust gas leak, so inspect the front pipe and manifold flange for corrosion or joint failure. Tyre condition drew attention in March 2023 at 79,812 miles with nearside rear edge wear and a shallow cut. Though no tyre advisories appear since, examine all sidewalls and tread edges for uneven wear that could signal worn suspension bushes or tracking faults. The clean 2022 record and absence of structural or suspension failures give confidence, but verify underside corrosion and coil spring integrity during a physical inspection.
