2012 Vauxhall Insignia Techline Cdti ECO S/S 2.0L Heavy oil · FD12 KWN

The most recent MOT on 2026‑05‑08 recorded 214,353 miles and passed with no defects, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The preceding tests in 2025 and 2024 also passed, showing a clear improvement after the failures logged in 2018‑2017. The maintenance trend is therefore stabilising and moving toward compliance. Mileage accumulation has been aggressive overall, averaging roughly 15,300 miles per year across the car’s 14‑year life. The jump from 191,339 miles in February 2023 to 214,353 miles in May 2026 represents about 23,000 miles in just over three years, a slower rate than the earlier periods. A notable gap exists between the September 2019 test (169,782 miles) and the February 2023 test (191,339 miles), where no MOT records appear for three and a half years, suggesting possible off‑road storage. The recent data shows a more measured mileage increase, hinting at reduced usage or intermittent ownership. A buyer should inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes for wear, as the 2018 records flagged worn components. Brake discs on both axles show pitting and scoring; the 2016 failure noted rear brake binding, so the calipers and disc condition merit close scrutiny. The service indicator (SVS) light was illuminated in 2018, indicating pending maintenance that should be verified. Under‑trays fitted to obscure underside components should be checked for corrosion or damage, and the rear position lamps, registration plate lamp, and headlamp aim should be tested for proper operation. Tyre wear is a concern, with front tyres recorded close to legal limits and a rear tyre containing a nail; replacement or repair will likely be required. Finally, the high mileage raises the probability of fatigue in drivetrain mounts and structural rust, so a thorough under‑body inspection is advisable before purchase.
