2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · FP61 SBX

The vehicle shows a worsening trend in consumable maintenance as it has aged. While the most recent test on 5 November 2021 at 163,459 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged all four tyres as being worn close to the legal limit or worn on the edges. This follows a pattern of increasing advisories regarding wear and tear, suggesting that the owner has transitioned from a period of clean, defect-free inspections to a more reactive approach to basic maintenance. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical long-distance driving profile for a 2012 vehicle. The car has covered 163,459 miles over its lifetime, averaging roughly 11,676 miles per year. The record shows steady progression, such as the 8,713-mile increase between the November 2019 and November 2020 tests, and a 6,484-mile increase between November 2020 and November 2021. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of the vehicle standing idle, which often leads to seal degradation or corrosion. A prospective buyer should focus heavily on the braking system and tyre management. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with brake discs; the 2019 test noted all four discs were worn, and by the 2020 test at 157,992 miles, the tester recorded all four discs as being worn, pitted, or scored. Although these were not classed as serious failures, the persistent pitting suggests the vehicle may be subject to environmental corrosion or infrequent cleaning of the braking components. The widespread tyre advisories in the 2021 test indicate that the vehicle is being driven on marginal rubber. You should inspect the current tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns that might suggest underlying suspension issues, such as worn bushes or misaligned geometry. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the underside for structural corrosion is also advisable, despite the lack of specific structural failures in the provided records.
