2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FE62 ACJ

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy on the most recent evidence, with a clean pass recorded at 231,823 miles on 21 June 2025. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the last three annual tests, each returning a pass with no defects logged. Prior to that, the vehicle failed twice in quick succession in June 2023 at 207,108 and 207,201 miles, though the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded against either failure, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly 14 years old the car carries 231,823 recorded miles, an average of about 16,559 miles per year and firmly on the high side for its age. The odometer advanced from 207,494 miles in July 2023 to 220,588 miles by July 2024, then to 231,823 by June 2025, a steady annual accumulation near 11,000 to 13,000 miles that indicates regular use rather than long periods standing. The MOT history is sparse beyond those entries, with no advisories listed on any pass, so the record gives little insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion between tests. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage, as high annual use accelerates fatigue in those components even when no advisory has been raised. The twin June 2023 failures with no defects noted warrant a check of the DVSA failure reasons in person, since the online summary may omit detail that affects confidence in the early-2023 upkeep. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion should be examined closely, as a 2012 vehicle at this mileage often shows rust where advisories were never captured.
