2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FL16 TCX

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 February 2026 at 142,315 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this clean result follows four consecutive annual passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the available five-year record. Annual mileage averages roughly 3,700 miles across the inspected period, well below the 14,232 miles per year implied by total age and odometer. From the 17 March 2022 test at 127,475 miles to the 21 February 2023 test at 131,408 miles the car covered 3,933 miles; similar low annual increments continue through to 2026. The MOT history is sparse in faults but also sparse in data points beyond pass results, with no intermediate tests or flagged wear items to reveal hidden consumption rates. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the car is ten years old and has reached 142,315 miles. The clean MOT record does not exempt the Insignia from age-related corrosion on structural members or exhaust degradation that testers may not have probed. Verify the service history matches the low annual mileage, as standing periods can accelerate rubber perishing and brake caliper binding not captured in a pass result.
