2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FG12 WRP

The vehicle shows a declining maintenance trend characterized by increasing frequency of failures and recurring consumable issues. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 154,987 miles resulted in a pass, the tester first flagged a failure for a fractured offside rear coil spring and incorrect headlamp aim. The presence of discoloured indicators and tyres worn close to the legal limit at this stage suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with a notable jump from 92,016 miles in October 2021 to 111,001 miles in October 2022, and continuing up to the current recorded 154,987 miles. This steady progression indicates regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which typically helps prevent certain types of corrosion but increases the wear on mechanical components. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension system, as fractured coil springs have appeared in both the 2018 and 2025 records. The history also reveals a pattern of neglected consumables, specifically tyres and brake components. The 2022 test flagged thin brake pads and structural tyre damage, while the 2024 test noted an oil leak and windscreen damage. Given the recurring issues with headlamp aim and condensation, the electrical integrity and lighting housings require close scrutiny. The presence of an oil leak noted in October 2024 at 139,917 miles warrants a physical check for the severity of the leak and any associated sludge buildup. Because the vehicle has consistently flagged tyre tread and edge wear issues across multiple years, the current condition of all four tyres and the wheel alignment should be verified to ensure the vehicle is not suffering from underlying suspension geometry faults.
