2012 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · YR12 AEC

The 2012 Vauxhall Insignia with 128,173 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT, conducted on 2024-03-28 at 128,173 miles, which resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. However, the vehicle’s MOT history reveals two consecutive fails on 2024-03-26 (128,130 miles) and 2023-03-31 (119,592 miles), both without recorded defects. This pattern suggests potential issues with testing consistency or minor faults that were not documented. The lack of specific defect details limits definitive conclusions, but the absence of critical failures in the latest test implies the vehicle remains roadworthy, provided no undetected issues exist. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging 9,155 miles per year. Notably, the 2024-03-28 MOT occurred just two days after a fail on 2024-03-26, with only 43 miles between tests, raising questions about the accuracy of mileage readings or the timing of repairs. The 2023-03-31 tests at 119,592 miles were identical, suggesting possible data duplication. These anomalies, combined with the sparse defect records, indicate a need for closer scrutiny of the vehicle’s mechanical state beyond the MOT data. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the car’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant attention, as recurring MOTs without defects may mask gradual wear. Structural corrosion, especially in areas prone to rust, should also be checked. While the MOT history does not highlight major issues, the vehicle’s maintenance pattern suggests a need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical integrity.
