2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FH61 FXW

The Vauxhall Insignia presents a currently roadworthy status following a clean pass on 3 October 2025 at 176,678 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The vehicle carries no recorded defects across its last three successful tests, suggesting no ongoing mechanical or structural deterioration flagged by DVSA examiners. The owner cleared a failed test on 1 October 2025 at 176,668 miles only two days before the pass, yet the failure listed no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. Annual mileage sits high for a 2012 car at roughly 12,620 miles per year, with the odometer reading 176,678 miles at the most recent test. The gap between the 21 August 2023 pass at 152,288 miles and the 29 August 2024 pass at 162,265 miles shows about 10,000 miles covered, then 14,400 miles to October 2025. This steady accumulation reflects regular use rather than long standing periods, which typically accelerates wear on drivetrain, suspension bushes, and brake discs. The sparse MOT history shows no advisories for corrosion, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers across the examined years. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the age and high mileage, as testers recorded no advisories rather than confirming absence. Check front coil springs, suspension arms, and brake disc thickness for consumable fatigue not yet surfaced in the record. The repeated no-defect failures on 21 August 2023 and 1 October 2025 point to clerical issues at the testing station, not owner neglect of tyres or wiper blades. Previous keepers maintained the car to a passable standard with no skipped consumable replacements flagged. Verify service history independently to confirm engine and gearbox care behind the clean MOT trail.
