2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · CX12 UKK

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 31 August 2023 at 134,178 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. The only blemishes are two administrative failures logged immediately before passes, on 29 August 2023 and 27 January 2022, both at near-identical mileages and both showing no recorded defects, indicating the vehicle was presented for test before documentation or minor pre-check items were resolved rather than for genuine mechanical failure. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2012 vehicle, averaging roughly 9,584 miles per year against the recorded 134,178 miles. The gap between the January 2022 test at 121,327 miles and the September 2022 test at 121,682 miles shows only 355 miles covered in eight months, suggesting a period of limited use. From September 2022 to August 2023 the odometer advanced 12,496 miles, a return to normal annual running. The record is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bush, brake disc, or emissions concerns noted across any entry. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and consumable wear despite the clear test history. The absence of advisories means tyres, wiper blades, coil springs, and binding calipers were not flagged, but at fourteen years old and 134,178 miles the Insignia will be due for age-related degradation not captured by a pass with no defects. Verify underbody condition for rust and check brake component thickness given the vehicle's standing periods inferred from the 2022 mileage plateau. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass pattern points to previous owners using the MOT bay as a re-test convenience rather than addressing faults at a garage beforehand. This implies no neglect of mechanical upkeep, yet offers no evidence of proactive servicing either. Treat the clean record as a baseline, not a guarantee, and confirm service history separately before purchase.
