2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FN12 PYF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT test on 17 June 2025 at 101,898 miles with no defects or advisories recorded. This result followed a failure just five days prior at 101,773 miles, which suggests a minor issue was rectified immediately to secure the re-test. The overall trend indicates the car has maintained a clean record without recurring mechanical failures or escalating structural advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,278 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 90,382 miles and the June 2025 test at 101,898 miles, the car covered 11,516 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of seals, gaskets, and fluid components within the braking system. Despite the clean history in the MOT database, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age and tear on a 14-year-old Insignia. At over 100,000 miles, suspension control arm bushes and coil springs often show signs of perished rubber or fatigue that are not always flagged until they reach a failure threshold. You should also check for corrosion on the rear sills and inspect the brake calipers for binding, as the lack of recent MOT advisories does not guarantee these components are free from minor wear.
