2018 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · FP18 FYG

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. In the July 2025 test at 67,731 miles the examiner recorded no defects, continuing an unbroken pass sequence from prior years. The vehicle shows no advisories or mechanical faults across the entire five-year MOT history, indicating consistent compliance with DVSA roadworthiness standards. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,466 miles per year against the 67,731 miles recorded. The records reveal uneven accumulation: the June 2021 test at 18,177 miles and June 2022 at 23,170 miles show light early use, then a sharp rise to 40,295 miles by July 2023 and 57,987 miles by July 2024. The clean pass at each interval suggests the previous keeper maintained the car through these higher-use periods without deferring essential work. No recurring faults appear in the suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity fields. The absence of corrosion or binding brake reports points to a dry, well-kept example rather than one subjected to neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underside chassis members and subframe for hidden rust, and verify tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition as consumable items the MOT may not have flagged at test time. Given the sparse but clean record, the prudent step is a pre-purchase check of the timing belt interval and a fluid condition review, since the MOT does not assess internal drivetrain wear. The history implies a careful owner who addressed issues before they reached test-fail status.
