2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Petrol · AF61 AAE

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-09-01 confirming a pass at 155,306 miles. However, a concurrent failed test on the same date without recorded defects raises ambiguity, suggesting potential administrative inconsistency or unreported issues. Previous tests from 2024-09-16 to 2022-08-26 show no defects, indicating consistent compliance with safety standards over the last three years. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 11,093 miles annually. The 2023-08-24 test at 142,779 miles and 2024-09-16 test at 150,926 miles show gradual accumulation, with a 5,377-mile increase between 2024 and 2025. This pattern suggests regular operation rather than prolonged inactivity, though the lack of detailed defect records limits insight into component wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as prolonged use at high mileage can accelerate degradation. Brake components, including discs and calipers, warrant scrutiny for uneven wear or corrosion, despite no prior failures. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or fatigue in body panels may develop over 14 years of exposure. The absence of recorded issues does not eliminate these risks, as MOT tests focus on immediate safety rather than long-term deterioration.
