2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · LS62 OBB

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 10 September 2025 at 89,280 miles, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of neglect regarding consumable items. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the initial failure due to a non-functional headlamp and perishing tyre rubber suggests that basic preventative maintenance is being deferred until the point of testing. This reactive approach to vehicle upkeep is a recurring theme, as evidenced by previous failures involving structural components and tyre condition. The recorded mileage of 89,280 over fourteen years averages approximately 6,377 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The accumulation of roughly 9,374 miles between July 2024 and September 2025 indicates steady, consistent use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no significant gaps in the history provided, suggesting the vehicle has remained in regular service throughout its life, though the consistent flagging of tyre issues points to a lack of proactive oversight by the previous keeper. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the suspension and tyre contact patches, as the record shows a history of fractured coil springs and degrading rubber. The repeated advisories for perishing tyres on the offside front and nearside rear wheels suggest the vehicle may have been stored in conditions that accelerate sidewall decay or that low-quality replacement tyres were fitted. Examine the condition of the suspension struts and mounting points for signs of corrosion or fatigue, and verify that all lighting units operate correctly, as electrical faults have previously caused test failures. Given the age of the platform, a thorough check of the brake discs and pads is also recommended to ensure the braking system has not been neglected in the same manner as the tyres.
