2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · AF12 HWD

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following the June 2025 test at 134,065 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available record. The May 2025 failure at 134,062 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded cause rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle passed five days later with a clean sheet. Annual mileage sits at roughly 9,576 per year against the 2012 build date, a typical figure for this age of car. The record shows steady accumulation: 86,793 miles in March 2022, 102,012 in May 2023, 121,910 in May 2024, and 134,065 by June 2025. No standing periods or sudden jumps appear. The history is sparse on advisories, with every passed test noting zero defects and no corrosion, brake, or suspension concerns flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car is fourteen years old and has covered 134,000 miles. The clean MOT record does not exempt worn consumables or developing structural rust from scrutiny. The May 2025 failure with no defects recorded warrants confirmation that the DVSA entry reflects a paperwork issue rather than a suppressed mechanical defect. Given the absence of recorded advisories across five tests, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic test compliance. The lack of flagged tyre, exhaust, or emissions faults suggests no neglected consumable patterns. Pre-purchase checks should focus on underbody corrosion and drivetrain condition not captured by the MOT scope.
