2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.8L Petrol · CT12 KFU

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 95,160 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and this follows four consecutive clean passes dating back to 27 January 2023. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA record, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the tested scope during this period. Recorded mileage sits at 95,160 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 6,797 miles per year which is typical for the age. The tests show light annual use: 90,078 miles in January 2023, 92,280 by January 2024, then 94,770 in January 2025 and 94,824 by July 2025. Only 336 miles were added between the July and October 2025 tests. The clean record across all entries suggests previous owners kept the car to a basic statutory test standard with no flagged neglect, though the sparse gap between January and July 2023 tests leaves the intermediate months unverified. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as the MOT only captures failures at the test threshold and does not report wear below the pass limit. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes should be physically checked given the vehicle's fourteen-year age, despite no rust advisories being raised. Given the absence of recorded faults, the principal risk is latent wear not yet at MOT-fail level rather than documented mechanical decline. Pre-purchase checks on tyre sidewall condition, exhaust emissions under load, and drivetrain noise remain sensible given the low annual mileage may mask standing moisture or infrequent fluid changes.
