2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FM65 VOB

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a currently roadworthy status following the March 2025 test, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent pass occurred on 31 March 2025 at 133,767 miles with no defects logged. Prior to that, the same date shows a failed test at 133,765 miles, though the DVSA entry records no defects, indicating an administrative or presentational failure rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage stands at 133,767 on an approximate ten-year-old vehicle, equating to roughly 13,377 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to sustained regular use. The records show 117,587 miles at the March 2023 test, 124,155 at March 2024, and 133,767 by March 2025, a steady annual increment near 8,000 to 9,600 miles with no standing gaps. The clean defect history across all three pass years suggests the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structural items within test limits, though the twin failure entries on both 19 March 2024 and 31 March 2025 with zero noted defects imply clerical test anomalies rather than neglected repair. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the elevated mileage and age. The absence of advisories in the official record does not preclude worn components emerging before the next test. Verify the circumstances of the two zero-defect failures with DVSA to confirm no suppressed mechanical findings exist on the vehicle file.
