AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2012 Vauxhall Insignia is presently roadworthy, as confirmed by the December 29 2023 MOT at 133,798 miles which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend remains stable, with consistent tyre wear notices from 2018 onward but no escalation to structural or mechanical failures in the recent test. Mileage has risen steadily from 45,651 miles in April 2015 to 133,798 miles in December 2023, averaging roughly 9,500 miles per year and matching the vehicle’s 14‑year age without anomalous periods of low use or sudden mileage spikes. Recurring 5.2.3 (e) tyre wear notices on the near and offside rear tyres from 2018 through 2023 suggest possible suspension bush wear, mis‑alignment or binding rear brakes that merit close inspection, while the absence of any structural or emission failures in the recent test points to an otherwise well‑maintained chassis. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the rear suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, verify tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and look for any signs of structural rust around the wheel arches and underbody, as these components have been the only recurring concerns in the MOT history.
