2016 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · WL65 DHY

This Vauxhall Insignia presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its MOT history. The most recent test on 22 April 2025 at 197,357 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health follows a consistent trend of first-time passes without advisories, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements. The mileage is exceptionally high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging nearly 20,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been rapid and consistent, with the odometer climbing from 131,276 miles on 15 November 2022 to 197,357 miles by April 2025. This indicates the car has spent the majority of its life in heavy use, likely as a long distance commuter or fleet vehicle. Despite the lack of recorded failures, the high mileage necessitates a focused physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should scrutinize the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for fatigue, as these typically degrade under such heavy usage. The brake discs and pads should be checked for thinning, and the drivetrain should be assessed for any excessive play or noise that a static MOT test might not capture. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures across five tests is positive. However, the high mileage suggests that major service intervals, such as timing belt replacements or transmission fluid changes, are critical points of verification. Ensure these have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule, as the MOT record only confirms basic roadworthiness rather than comprehensive mechanical health.
