2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FN16 CGU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its most recent testing history. The latest inspection conducted on 6 February 2026 at 131,482 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite a technical failure just two miles prior on the same day. This immediate rectification suggests a minor sensor-related issue or a specific component fault that was addressed instantly before the successful test. Since 2023, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisories, indicating a consistent level of mechanical upkeep and proactive maintenance. The mileage profile reflects a high-use pattern, averaging approximately 13,148 miles per year over its ten-year life. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 11,032 miles, while the period between March 2023 and February 2024 saw 7,809 miles recorded. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle was likely used for regular motorway commuting, which generally places less strain on the clutch than short urban driving, though the high total mileage puts significant demand on high-wear components such as the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension bushings. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the high-wear areas typically associated with the 130,000-mile mark. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, the high mileage necessitates a check of the rear control arms and suspension links for signs of play or perished rubber. Inspect the brake discs for thinning and calipers for binding, as high-mileage cycles often accelerate wear on the braking system. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus should remain on verifying that the service history matches the high mileage to ensure the engine has received regular oil changes and filter replacements.
