2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · SM12 AAE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 10 April 2025 at 101,634 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owners have proactively addressed issues, preventing the accumulation of mechanical or structural failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 7,260 miles per year. Between March 2021 at 83,294 miles and April 2025 at 101,634 miles, the car covered 18,340 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than erratic bursts or long periods of neglect. This consistent interval suggests the drivetrain and suspension components have been under predictable stress, which often preserves the remaining life of major assemblies compared to high-mileage counterparts. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults such as binding calipers or worn bushes, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for the Vauxhall Insignia platform. The buyer should check for corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as the MOT does not flag surface rust until it compromises structural integrity. Given the low annual mileage, inspecting the condition of rubberized components and control arm bushings is vital, as these can perish and crack over time regardless of the miles driven.
