2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · AF62 GZC

The Vauxhall Insignia shows a broadly stable maintenance trend with no defects recorded across its recent tests. The most recent examination on 3 August 2023 at 105,718 miles returned a pass with no advisories, though the same date also logged a failure with no defects cited, a DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the 10 June 2022 test at 98,065 miles passed cleanly. The vehicle presents as roadworthy on paper with no worsening pattern of faults in the official record. Mileage sat at 98,065 in June 2022 and rose to 105,718 by August 2023, an addition of 7,653 miles over roughly fourteen months. That equates to near the implied annual average of 7,551 miles for a 2012 car. The gap between tests is just over thirteen months, within normal MOT cycling. Recorded data is sparse, with only two test years captured, so the history offers limited insight into earlier upkeep or any intermittent faults that went unrecorded between 2022 and 2023. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean advisories. The absence of flagged items such as worn suspension bushes, corroded subframes, or brake disc lip does not confirm their absence at 105,718 miles. Inspect front coil springs and track-rod ends for fracture or play, check rear brake calipers for binding, and examine sills and suspension mounts for structural rust given the car's fourteen-year age. Verify the tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions against current limits, as these consumables degrade silently between tests.
