2016 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BF66 ABV

The 1956cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency on long journeys, offering strong fuel economy for a vehicle of this size. However, be mindful that as a diesel, it is best suited for regular motorway driving to keep the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) clear of soot build-up.

Annual running costs will include VED (Road Tax), which is dependent on the specific CO2 emissions for this trim, plus insurance and routine maintenance. Budgeting approximately £1,200–£1,500 per year should cover fuel, insurance, and a contingency fund for servicing and wear-and-tear items like tyres and brakes.

While the MOT history is clean, always perform a physical walk-around to check the condition of the tyres, as the vehicle previously had a sidewall cut noted in 2021. Inspect the alloy wheels for kerb damage and check the bodywork for any signs of paint fade or stone chips, which are common on red vehicles of this age.

Under the bonnet, check for any signs of oil leaks around the rocker cover and ensure the engine idles smoothly from a cold start. Inside the cabin, test all climate control functions and ensure the parking sensors are operational, as these are common failure points for the Insignia model range.
