2012 Vauxhall Insignia 1.8L Petrol · DV12 GCX

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 7 November 2025 at 84,936 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle carries no advisories or defects in any of its passed tests, and the only blemishes are two failed entries on consecutive days in November 2023 and November 2025 where the tester logged no defects, indicating administrative or presentation failures rather than mechanical faults. This suggests the car has been maintained to a standard that clears the statutory roadworthiness threshold without recurring wear-related concerns. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,067 miles per year against a 14-year life, which is typical for the age. The records show 75,684 miles on 6 November 2023, 79,591 miles on 14 November 2024, and 84,936 miles on 7 November 2025, equating to about 4,000 to 5,300 miles added each year. The low yearly use implies lighter cycling of suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain seals, though prolonged standing between short trips can encourage corrosion on structural members and flat-spotted tyres. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglect but equally offers no deep insight into component condition. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the subframe, sills, and suspension mounting points for rust, since the MOT entries never list corrosion and the low mileage may have masked slow structural decay. The twin failure-with-no-defect entries on 6 November 2023 and 6 November 2025 warrant confirmation that the car was properly presented and not hiding a binding caliper or exhaust emissions issue the tester caught on a repeat look. Check tyre sidewalls and wiper blades for perishing from intermittent use, and verify the brake fluid history, as none of these appear in the supplied record.
