2012 Vauxhall Insignia SRI VX-Line RED Cdti 2.0L Heavy oil · SNZ 9279

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 95,418 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates that the car is currently maintained to a standard that meets legal requirements. While the history shows previous failures in 2019 and 2023, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest that the owner is proactive in addressing mechanical faults once identified by the tester. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle used for moderate distances over fourteen years, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap between the November 2019 and February 2023 tests, during which time the car covered roughly 20,000 miles. Since then, the vehicle has covered 25,000 miles in just over two years, indicating a return to more frequent and consistent usage. The low annual mileage for its age generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension assembly and braking system, as these are common areas of failure on the Insignia platform. Although the recent records are clean, the previous failures in 2019 and 2023 suggest that components like bushes or calipers require periodic attention. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear exhaust mounting is essential to ensure no hidden rust has taken hold. Checking for signs of oil leaks or uneven tyre wear will also confirm if the lower mileage has resulted in any underlying mechanical neglect.
