2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · OV62 XLZ

The vehicle currently presents as a roadworthy asset, showing an improving trend in maintenance standards. The most recent test in February 2026 at 106,909 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in February 2024, suggesting that the current ownership is proactive in rectifying faults identified during the annual testing process. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with 16,492 miles covered between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 7,149 miles recorded between February 2025 and February 2026. This regular interval suggests the car does not suffer from long periods of stagnation, which often helps protect rubber components and brake systems from seizing or degrading beyond age-related wear. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear braking system during a physical inspection. The 2024 failure at 83,278 miles due to thin brake pads and binding calipers on both the nearside and offside rear indicates a history of caliper slider issues or piston corrosion. While the vehicle has passed since then, a road test should verify that the rear brakes remain free-moving and the discs do not show signs of excessive heat or pitting. Given the age and mileage of this Insignia, a thorough check for structural corrosion is essential, particularly on the subframe and mounting points where these models are prone. Although the record does not currently flag structural advisories, the history of headlamp aim issues in 2025 suggests that minor adjustments are occasionally overlooked. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs to ensure the consistent mileage has not resulted in premature wear of the damping components.
