2011 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L Diesel · BD60 AEC

As a 1956cc diesel, this Insignia is designed for motorway cruising, offering relatively efficient fuel economy compared to petrol alternatives. However, at over 113,000 miles, maintenance costs may increase as wear-and-tear components like suspension bushings and dampers reach the end of their life.

Tax and insurance groups for a 2011 Insignia vary depending on the specific trim level, but you should expect mid-range costs. Annual running costs will be heavily influenced by your annual mileage, especially given that this vehicle has already been driven much more than the statistical average for this model.

Focus your inspection on the front suspension and steering assembly. The March 2026 MOT specifically identified play in the track rod end ball joints on both sides; a test drive is essential to check for any knocking sounds or wandering steering that might indicate these parts are failing or that further suspension damage exists.

Check the condition of all four tyres, specifically looking for the edge wear mentioned in the 2026 record, which can indicate alignment issues. Additionally, inspect the anti-roll bar linkages and their dust covers, as the offside front cover was noted as severely deteriorated. Finally, check for signs of the common model failure points like coil springs or corrosion, which are noted as top failure reasons for the Insignia aggregate data.
