2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FN16 ECZ

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 1 July 2025 at 140,171 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in October 2024 at 125,450 miles and October 2023 at 106,115 miles also passed cleanly. The single failure on 13 October 2023 at 106,115 miles is anomalous as the record shows no defects listed against it, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed on the same day under identical mileage. The mileage pattern reflects above-average use for a 2016 registration, accumulating roughly 14,000 miles per year against the current 140,171 total. Gaps between tests are irregular: the owner left 13 months between the September 2022 test at 83,526 miles and the October 2023 test at 106,115 miles, then shifted to a 12-month cycle. The jump from 125,450 miles in October 2024 to 140,171 miles by July 2025 shows sustained high annual mileage of around 14,700 miles. The sparse, clean record gives no indication of neglected consumables or deferred repairs across the timeline. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high cumulative mileage and ten-year age. The absence of advisories across all tests means no corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or binding calipers were flagged, but DVSA testers do not strip components. Verify underneath structural integrity for rust and check tyre tread depth independently, as the clean MOT history offers no early warning of impending wear on these items.
