2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · KU12 MYM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT test on 29 November 2025 at 134,047 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, as the record reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes in both 2024 and 2025. These failures resulted in no recorded defects on the final pass certificates, suggesting the owner addresses minor compliance issues or items that are rectified before a retest rather than allowing chronic mechanical neglect. At a recorded mileage of 134,047 miles over 14 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,575 miles per year. This usage aligns closely with typical national averages for a diesel saloon of this age. The data shows consistent use between intervals, with 3,654 miles covered between November 2023 and December 2024 tests, and another 4,282 miles between December 2024 and November 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle is not sat stationary for long periods, which generally helps prevent seal degradation and brake seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most likely to cause the intermittent failures seen in the recent history. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and ball joints is essential to identify perished rubber or excessive play. The Insignia also requires scrutiny regarding structural corrosion on the rear subframe and mounting points, which are common areas for this model. While the recent passes are clean of advisories, the recurring retests suggest that minor items like bulbs, wipers, or slight fluid leaks are only addressed when they threaten an MOT failure.
