2018 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FL68 SCX

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 9 February 2026 at 132,874 miles. The DVSA record shows no defects, advisories, or mechanical faults across the last five years of testing. Maintenance appears consistent and the vehicle has avoided repeat failures or escalating wear issues. Annual mileage sits at roughly 16,600 miles, which is high for an eight-year-old car but evenly spread. The tester logged 65,738 miles in February 2023, then 90,606 at the February 2024 test, 115,767 in February 2025, and 132,874 in February 2026. The February 2024 entry shows a failed test at 90,602 miles immediately followed by a pass at 90,606 miles on the same day with no defects listed, indicating a likely administrative or retest anomaly rather than a genuine mechanical fault. No long standing periods or sudden accumulation spikes appear in the data. Given the sparse and clean history, the buyer should still commission a physical inspection of consumable items not captured by MOT pass criteria. At 132,874 miles the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness warrant hands-on checks for fatigue. Drivetrain mounts and exhaust emissions hardware should be reviewed for high-mileage degradation. Structural integrity shows no corrosion or chassis advisories in the official record. The previous owner clearly kept the car to test standard, though high annual use means in-person scrutiny of tyre sidewalls and binding calipers remains prudent before purchase.
