2018 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · RR16 ELM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status having passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 95,534 miles. The maintenance trend indicates a stable but reactive approach characterized by a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful re-tests within a few days and minimal mileage gain. This suggests that the previous owner addressed specific faults only when required for compliance rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance to catch defects before the testing date. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between July 2023 at 53,010 miles and July 2024 at 76,174 miles, the car covered over 23,000 miles, with another 19,000 miles recorded between the July 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has seen regular motorway miles, which typically places predictable wear on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and brake hardware. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension and braking system, as the record shows repeated failures at high mileage intervals despite no specific defects listed in the provided data. Given the Insignia's age and mileage, check for perished rear lower control arm bushes and leaking brake calipers which are common points of failure on this model. The lack of advisories for structural corrosion in the latest pass suggests the chassis remains sound, but the reactive nature of the MOT history justifies a mechanical check of all underbody components before purchase.
