2018 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FJ18 YDP

The 2018 Vauxhall Insignia demonstrates a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, passing every recorded MOT without a single defect or advisory. The most recent test on 26 September 2025 at 66,096 miles returned a completely clean bill of health, indicating no immediate mechanical, structural, or emissions concerns. This unbroken string of flawless passes suggests a previous owner who addressed wear items proactively rather than waiting for components to fail. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, reflecting consistent, typical use rather than long periods of standing or excessive daily wear. Between the October 2021 test at 42,385 miles and the September 2025 test at 66,096 miles, the Insignia covered 23,711 miles over four years, averaging just under 6,000 miles annually. The yearly increments remain steady, ranging from 4,525 miles between 2021 and 2022 to 7,687 miles between 2024 and 2025, confirming a regular driving pattern without erratic spikes or suspiciously low gaps. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of consumable and structural components that do not always trigger immediate test failures. A buyer should closely examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of deterioration, alongside measuring the remaining tread depth on all four tyres and inspecting the brake discs for lipping or uneven wear. The exhaust system warrants a thorough check for corrosion, particularly around the welds and mounting points, while the underbody should be inspected for any signs of structural rust or compromised protective coatings that could worsen rapidly after the vehicle passes its ninth year.
