2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · KU62 AOY

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by three consecutive clean passes in recent years. The most recent test conducted on 11 October 2023 at 275,892 miles returned no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the minimum standard at that time. While a failure was recorded in September 2020, the immediate pass suggests the identified issues were rectified, and the vehicle has remained consistent since. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per annum. Data shows a significant discrepancy between the 2020 and 2021 records, where the mileage figure dropped from 324,619 miles to 275,892 miles, suggesting either a clerical error or an odometer rollback during that period. Between October 2021 and October 2023, the car covered over 51,000 miles, confirming heavy annual usage. This high volume of mileage places extreme strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and cooling systems compared to standard-mileage domestic vehicles. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components, as high-mileage transit accelerates the wear on control arms and coil springs. Given the age and distance covered, checking for significant corrosion on the subframe and potential fluid leaks from the engine bay is essential. Since the last MOT was performed over two years ago, the current state of the brake pads, discs, and tyre tread depth must be verified manually, as the record does not reflect the wear incurred since the 2023 test.
