4 How it compares with other 2016 Insignias

Against every Vauxhall Insignia first used in 2016 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (21,505 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.

Measure	This car	Typical 2016 Insignia	What it means
Pass rate, first attempts	6 of 9 (67%)	68.3% in 2025	In line with the group figure
Fails, first attempts	2 of 9	26.6% of first tests	Lower than the group figure
Fixed during the test (PRS)	1	5.2% of first tests	1 on this record
Mileage at its latest test (25 Sept 2026)	124,595 miles	88,321 (middle half 68,664–112,302)	Above the middle half; not an outlier
Clean passes (no advisories)	5 of 9	33.0% of first tests	Higher than the group figure

"Typical" is every Vauxhall Insignia first used in 2016, any fuel or use — not adjusted for mileage. This car's figures are from its own record only. A first attempt is any test not within 10 days after a failed test of this car. A first attempt whose faults were all put right during the test counts as fixed during the test (PRS), not as a fail, as in DVSA's figures.
