2016 Vauxhall Insignia 1.6L Diesel · SE16 ACF

The 2016 Vauxhalla Insignia demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-03 at 100,356 miles recording no defects. Previous tests from 2025-03-11 (85,276 miles) and 2024-03-12 (70,866 miles) also passed without issues, though a duplicate entry for 2024-03-12 notes a failure at the same mileage without recorded defects. This inconsistency may reflect administrative error, but the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the latest test suggests the vehicle has maintained acceptable condition. No advisories or critical failures are documented in the final three tests, indicating no immediate safety risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 100,356 miles over 10 years aligns with an average of 10,036 miles annually, consistent with typical usage for its age. MOTs were conducted at roughly 12-month intervals, with the 2023-02-15 test at 60,924 miles marking the earliest recorded data. No significant gaps in testing are evident, and the lack of defects in the final three assessments suggests no escalating issues with wear or structural integrity. However, the 2024-03-12 failure at 70,866 miles—without explanation—warrants scrutiny, as it could indicate a temporary fault or data anomaly. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly given the vehicle’s age, as bushes and coil springs may show wear. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be inspected for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older vehicles. While no exhaust emissions or structural rust issues are noted in the record, a physical check of the underbody for corrosion and alignment of suspension parts is advisable. The absence of recurring defects in recent tests supports the vehicle’s reliability, but a hands-on inspection is recommended to confirm the integrity of high-mileage components.
