2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FN16 ATU

The 2016 Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 6 March 2026 at 110,235 miles with zero defects recorded. The vehicle passed its preceding tests on 5 March 2025 and 4 March 2024 without any advisories or failures, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep. Two anomalous entries exist in the record: a failed test on 1 March 2024 and another on 6 March 2026, both listing no defects. These likely represent test aborts or data entry anomalies rather than unresolved mechanical faults, as the car passed immediately afterward on each occasion with no rectification mileage difference. Mileage accumulation remains highly consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging just over 11,000 miles annually. Between the March 2024 test at 98,573 miles and the March 2025 test at 104,997 miles, the Insignia covered 6,424 miles. The subsequent year saw a slightly reduced rate of 5,238 miles, taking the total to 110,235 miles by March 2026. This steady, typical usage pattern suggests regular commuting or mixed driving rather than prolonged standing or extreme high-mileage fleet use. Despite the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the DVSA record, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on typical wear items for a decade-old Insignia. Examine the front suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration, alongside the condition of the brake discs and pads, which will be nearing replacement at this mileage. Check the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody, particularly around the rear subframe and mounting points common to this platform. Tyre condition and age warrant close scrutiny, as uneven tread wear could indicate latent tracking or suspension geometry issues not flagged during the MOT.
