2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · WR62 WSZ

The vehicle currently presents a stable and positive maintenance trend, evidenced by a clean pass on 9 April 2026 at 115,663 miles. Following the rectification of specific safety defects in April 2024, the car has achieved two consecutive clear MOT certificates. This recent history suggests that the current keeper has addressed mechanical concerns promptly, moving away from the minor neglect patterns observed in the 2023 and 2024 test cycles. The recorded mileage of 115,663 over fourteen years averages approximately 8,260 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age and class. Annual testing has been maintained with high regularity, showing no significant gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity that might otherwise lead to issues like seized calipers or degraded seals. The low annual mileage accumulation of roughly 800 to 900 miles between the 2024 and 2026 tests indicates the car has seen light use recently, which generally preserves the drivetrain but necessitates a thorough check of rubber components for age-related perishing. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension, given the previous advisories regarding thin rear pads and an incorrectly fitted coil spring. Even though the most recent tests were clear, verify the current thickness of the brake discs and pads, as the vehicle has a documented history of rear brake wear. Inspect the headlamp units for any signs of recurring moisture ingress, which was noted in 2023, and check the structural integrity of the suspension mounting points. While the recent clean passes are encouraging, a visual confirmation of the tyres for sidewall damage remains prudent, as structural tyre failure was a specific failure point in the 2024 test.
