2016 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FM16 GVT

The 2016 Vauxhall Insignia exhibits a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 18 March 2026 at 81,390 miles. The total absence of defects or advisories on the current certificate demonstrates that the vehicle meets all required roadworthiness standards. This unbroken record of passing tests suggests diligent upkeep by the previous owners, with no lingering mechanical or structural compromises requiring immediate remedial action. The annual mileage accumulation of roughly 8,139 miles aligns perfectly with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Between the test on 2 April 2023 at 58,187 miles and the test on 29 March 2024 at 66,426 miles, the Insignia covered 8,239 miles. Usage dipped slightly the following year, covering 7,023 miles between March 2024 and March 2025, before rising to 7,941 miles over the most recent twelve-month period. A minor anomaly exists in the 2024 record, where a failed test on 28 March at 66,367 miles lists zero defects, followed immediately by a pass the next day at 66,426 miles. This pattern indicates an aborted test or administrative error rather than a mechanical failure. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection remains essential given the vehicle's age and cumulative mileage. Buyers should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, as these components degrade gradually over 81,000 miles and often fail without prior warning. Check the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, conditions that can develop rapidly between annual assessments. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and assess the structural integrity of the underbody and sills, ensuring no rust compromises the chassis.
