2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · JM60 MCC

The vehicle was deemed roadworthy in the most recent MOT on 29 November 2023 after passing at 121,188 miles; the preceding failure on the same day highlighted worn rear tyres, undersized rear brake pads and lighting faults that were rectified before the pass. Recurring tyre wear and brake‑pad wear appear as the dominant issues, but no progressive structural or suspension defects emerge, indicating a generally stable maintenance trend once the identified consumables are addressed. Mileage has risen from 42,066 miles in October 2015 to 121,188 miles in November 2023, averaging roughly 8,600 miles per year across the fourteen‑year lifespan. The interval between the 2021‑12‑08 test at 80,628 miles and the 2022‑12‑09 test at 99,971 miles reflects an increase of about 19,300 miles in twelve months, suggesting a period of heavier use in the last few years. No large mileage gaps are evident, and the recorded figures align with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the rear tyres, confirming that tread depth exceeds the 1.6 mm legal minimum and that sidewalls are free of exposed cords. Inspect the rear brake pads for sufficient thickness and examine the discs for scoring, as the 2023 failure recorded pads below 1.5 mm. Check headlamp alignment and indicator colour to ensure the lighting issues corrected after the 2023 failure remain resolved. Examine the windscreen wiper performance, given a 2017 failure for ineffective clearing, and look for any early signs of suspension bush wear or rust, even though no structural advisories have been recorded. A thorough visual and functional check of these items will confirm whether the vehicle’s consumable wear has been properly managed and whether any latent issues persist.
