Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Focus on the service history, particularly regarding the timing belt and water pump, which are critical for this 1956cc diesel engine at this mileage. Check for evidence of recent tyre replacements, as the 2022 and 2023 MOTs both flagged worn inner edges, which could indicate a persistent alignment issue.
Negotiate the price based on any upcoming maintenance requirements for a high-mileage diesel. Ensure there is documentation for oil changes and filter replacements to verify the engine has been serviced according to the manufacturer's intervals.
As a 2.0L diesel, fuel economy should be relatively efficient for long-distance cruising, though tax and insurance will vary by specific trim. Maintenance costs for an Insignia of this age typically involve wear-and-tear items such as brake pads and suspension components.
Annual running costs are estimated to be moderate, reflecting the vehicle's age and high mileage, which may increase the frequency of component replacements.
Inspect all four tyres carefully; the MOT history specifically notes inner edge wear on the rear tyres in both 2022 and 2023, suggesting a possible tracking or suspension problem. Check the brake pads, as the 2022 test noted inner pads were wearing thin.
Additionally, look for corrosion on the chassis and check the condition of the coil springs, as these are listed as top failure reasons for the Insignia model aggregate data. A visual check of the underbody for rust is highly recommended given the model's known failure patterns.
This grey 2010 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L diesel has recorded 152,158 miles as of its last MOT in March 2023. The MOT history shows two consecutive passes, though both include advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit. With a model-wide pass rate of 77.7%, this vehicle's record is consistent with its age and usage.
The Insignia has a 77.7% average MOT pass rate, with common failure points being coil springs, tyres, and corrosion.
