Vauxhall Insignia Mk2 Problems by Year

The second-generation Insignia is lighter, better packaged and generally far more pleasant than the old car, especially as a Sports Tourer. Used buyers still need to pick their engines carefully because the later diesel emissions hardware and some 1.5 petrol timing-chain complaints can turn a bargain into a project.

Buying Tips for the Vauxhall Insignia Mk2

  • A warm test drive is essential on diesels because NOx and AdBlue faults often hide when the car is cold or recently cleared.
  • On 1.5 petrol cars, listen carefully on a cold start for any chain rattle and be extra suspicious of vague oil-service history.
  • Test the infotainment, cameras and electric tailgate thoroughly because software-heavy tourers can feel perfect until one module starts playing up.
