2018 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · DV68 VTN

The 2018 Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 10 November 2025 at 130,257 miles with zero defects recorded. The absence of advisories or failures across the last five consecutive annual tests indicates the vehicle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards without immediate mechanical concerns. The recorded mileage of 130,257 miles equates to an annual average of roughly 16,282 miles, a figure notably higher than the typical UK average for an eight-year-old vehicle. A closer look at the chronology reveals a significant spike in usage between the December 2021 test at 77,325 miles and the November 2022 test at 100,074 miles, covering 22,749 miles in just under twelve months. Subsequent years show a return to a more moderate accumulation, adding approximately 4,000 to 6,000 miles annually from 2022 through 2025. Despite the spotless MOT record, the high-mileage nature of this Insignia demands a thorough physical inspection of components that suffer from prolonged use but might not yet trigger a test failure. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which endure considerable stress over 130,000 miles, alongside checking the brake discs and calipers for any signs of lipping or binding that could surface soon. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and inspect the structural underbody for rust, as the elevated annual mileage accelerates the deterioration of these critical components.
