2016 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · LM16 XHW

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate, with the most recent test passing on 10 August 2024 at 89,603 miles. The maintenance trend is stable and resolving after a single failure recorded five months prior in November 2022. Three consecutive clean results following that initial rejection indicate the underlying issues were rectified and the car has been maintained to standard since. However, the certificate is now roughly twenty-two months old, meaning the vehicle is approaching its renewal date and will require inspection within the next few months. The mileage accumulation sits at approximately 8,960 miles per year, which aligns with average usage for a ten-year-old vehicle. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history between November 2022 and August 2024, suggesting the car remained in regular use rather than sitting unused for extended periods. This consistent running pattern implies normal wear on consumable components like tyres and brake pads, rather than the accelerated degradation often seen with high-mileage fleet vehicles. Although the November 2022 failure carries no specific defect details in the record, the subsequent clean tests confirm the repairs held. Given the model's age, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as these are the components most likely to trigger a rejection on this Vauxhall Insignia. The car is also prone to corrosion on lower body panels and wheel arches, so check for structural rust around the sills and suspension mounting points. While the MOT record shows no active advisories, the proximity to the renewal date means the tester will be examining exhaust emissions and brake performance closely again soon.
