2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FL12 WOR

The Vauxhall Insignia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 17 June 2025 at 72,030 miles, with the official record showing no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history. A failed test logged on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects recorded points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle then passed later that day. The mileage pattern sits low for a 2012 registration. The car covered just 12,843 miles between the May 2022 test at 39,487 miles and the June 2024 test at 59,808 miles, then added 12,222 miles to reach 72,030 by June 2025. Annual averages of roughly 5,145 miles suggest light use, though the clean record gives no evidence of long idle periods causing standing damage. The DVSA data is sparse, with five tests over three years and no advisories or defects ever noted. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's fourteen-year age and low annual use, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm component condition between tests. Structural integrity and underbody corrosion warrant close checking, particularly around sills and subframes where Vauxhall models of this era can trap moisture. Exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition should be verified in person despite the clean history. The absence of recurring faults in the record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but no MOT entry replaces a independent mechanical appraisal before purchase.
