2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · DV66 VDD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT record over the last two years. The most recent inspection conducted in February 2026 at 80,743 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum legal standards. This follows a period of consistent passes without advisories 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle sufficiently to avoid recurring test failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. There is a notable period of low activity between August 2023 and September 2024, where the car covered only 565 miles in thirteen months. However, the usage increased significantly between February 2025 and February 2026, with 12,135 miles covered in that interval. This shift suggests a recent change in usage habits or a return to regular driving which typically accelerates wear on consumables like tyres, oil, and the braking system. While the recent history is clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the suspension components and brake discs. The Insignia is known for wear on front wisharm bushes and coil springs which often do not trigger an MOT failure until they are significant. The failure in August 2023 at 62,508 miles, followed by a pass just two days later, indicates a minor defect was rectified quickly. You should still check for surface corrosion on the rear sills and exhaust system to ensure that the low mileage has not masked structural degradation from age over time.
