2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · AJ62 FPV

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 2 August 2025 at 104,365 miles, where the tester issued a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, with each annual test resulting in a clean pass after any administrative failure. No advisories or mechanical faults appear at any stage, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring component wear in the official record. Mileage has accumulated at a typical rate for a 2012 vehicle, rising from 83,377 miles at the 3 August 2023 test to 93,520 miles by 10 August 2024 and reaching 104,365 miles by 2 August 2025. That equates to roughly 10,000 miles per year over the recorded period, slightly above the lifetime average of 7,455 but within normal bounds for a diesel saloon of this class. The DVSA data shows no gaps longer than twelve months between tests, and the sparse, clean record gives little basis to suspect neglected consumables or deferred servicing. The repeated fail-and-pass pairs on both 10 August 2024 and 2 August 2025 at identical mileages with no defects listed point to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still verify the V5C and test certificate details match, since a zero-defect failure often signals a clerical reversal. No suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion items were flagged, so structural integrity is uncompromised on paper. Given the absence of advisories across all three tests, in-person checks should focus on standard consumables not captured by a clean MOT: tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and fluid levels. The lack of recorded brake binding or exhaust emissions concerns suggests previous owners kept the car to a basic but sufficient standard. A pre-purchase inspection remains sensible to confirm underneath condition, but the official record shows no red flags for this Insignia.
