2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BG62 CPU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a recurring issue with suspension geometry and tyre condition. The most recent test in November 2025 at 107,228 miles saw the car fail initially due to headlamp aim and defective condition on both rear tyres. While it passed the re-test the same day, the presence of tyres wearing out of round on the inner edges suggests a persistent alignment fault that has not been fully addressed. At 107,228 miles, the Insignia has averaged approximately 7,600 miles per year, which is consistent with low-average usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 9,000 miles driven between November 2024 and November 2025, and another 9,000 miles in the preceding year. This consistent mileage suggests the car has not sat neglected, though the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of rubber components degrading over time. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the front suspension components and alignment settings. The recurring inner-edge tyre wear noted in 2023 at 88,923 miles and again in 2025 at 107,228 miles points toward worn control arm bushes, ball joints, or faulty struts. You should also check for perishing or cracking on the rear tyres as flagged in late 2025, which indicates the rubber is reaching its age limit despite remaining tread depth. The condensation noted in the headlamps during 2024 should be monitored to ensure seals are not allowing significant moisture ingress that could lead to electrical failure or internal reflector damage.
