2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FN62 RFZ

The vehicle shows an improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass during the most recent test on 30 October 2025 at 147,837 miles. While the record shows several mechanical issues in previous years, the absence of any defects or advisories in the latest inspection suggests that the previous faults have been addressed. The vehicle appears to be in a stable state of roadworthiness following a period of intermittent component failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing from 107,602 in October 2022 to 147,837 in October 2025. This regular pattern of driving suggests the vehicle has not been subject to long periods of inactivity, which helps prevent issues like seized calipers or perished rubber components that often affect low-mileage cars. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The September 2024 test flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arms, as well as tyres worn close to the legal limit. Although these were cleared by the October 2025 test, the recurrence of suspension wear suggests the chassis undergoes regular load stress. The 2023 failure involving a fractured offside rear coil spring and a binding rear brake indicates that the rear axle assembly has previously required attention. While the current MOT record is clean, the history of binding brakes and suspension bush wear warrants a thorough check of the rear brake calipers and the condition of all suspension bushings. Checking the tyre tread depth and alignment is also advisable to ensure the issues noted in 2024 have been fully resolved through proper maintenance rather than just temporary compliance.
