If you own or are considering buying a 2012 Vauxhall Insignia Se Nav Cdti Ecoflx Ss, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall.

Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.

Suspension — 2.3% of failures

Suspension issues account for 2.3% of MOT failures on 2012 Vauxhall Insignia Se Nav Cdti Ecoflx Ss models. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding.

Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
