2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · DV66 VBY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 18 September 2025 at 151,201 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met testing standards without recorded recurring defects or escalating advisories. The failure on 12 September 2025, just six days prior to the pass, suggests a minor component-related failure that was rectified immediately by the owner rather than a sign of deep-seated mechanical decline. At 151,201 miles, this ten-year-old Insignia has covered an average of 15,000 miles per annum. The data shows consistent high-frequency usage, with 17,245 miles recorded between September 2023 and September 2024, and another 25,153 miles covered in the final year. This high mileage profile indicates the vehicle has likely seen significant motorway use, which typically results in less wear on clutch and suspension components compared to short-distance stop-start city driving. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry and drivetrain components, as the high mileage accelerates the wear of rubber bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, the volume of travel necessitates a close check of the brake discs thickness and the condition of the tyres. Given the rapid mileage accumulation, verifying the service history regarding turbocharger health and checking for weeping oil leaks is essential to ensure the engine has been maintained according to the high demands of its usage.
