2016 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FN16 EFL

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 September 2025 at 63,942 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, confirming the vehicle held a clean status across its latest annual examination. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 2016 plate. The car covered 51,582 miles by 3 October 2023, rose to 57,490 miles at the September 2024 tests, and reached 63,942 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 6,200 miles per year, below the national average and consistent with gentle private use. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flagged at any stage. The history shows two failed tests on 3 October 2023 and 18 September 2024, both at near-identical mileages to the passes issued days later, yet the records list no defects for either failure. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults, since the same-day or near-same-day passes recorded zero defects. No recurring suspension, brake, corrosion, or emissions problems appear in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, suspension bushes, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car's ten years. The clean MOT trail offers reassurance, but low mileage and long standing periods can conceal perished rubber components or surface rust not captured by the tester. Verify the two anomaly failures with the test centres to rule out clerical error before purchase.
