Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence given the recent
Focus on verifying the service history to complement the MOT data, as the high mileage suggests regular long-distance use. Given the 1.5L petrol engine, check for any evidence of recent timing belt or water pump replacements, which are standard maintenance items for this age and mileage.
When inspecting the vehicle, check the tyre tread and condition, as tyres are a common failure point for this model type. Additionally, pay attention to the suspension components, specifically the coil springs, which are noted in aggregate data as a frequent reason for MOT failures in the Insignia range.
The 1490cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and offers reasonable fuel economy for a mid-sized saloon. Tax bands for this 2018 model vary depending on specific CO2 emissions, so verify the exact rate via the DVLA.
Maintenance costs for this vehicle should be budgeted for typical wear-and-tear items like brakes and tyres. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,400-£1,700 depending on annual mileage.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, you should closely inspect the coil springs for any signs of sagging or breakage, and check the tyres for uneven wear. Although this specific vehicle has had no recent defects, these remain the most common failure points for the Insignia.
Check the underside of the vehicle for any signs of early-stage corrosion, as this is a top failure reason for the wider model group. Finally, ensure all electrical components and dashboard warning lights are functioning correctly, as the recent MOTs have focused on mechanical and structural pass/fail criteria.
This silver 1.5L petrol Insignia has covered 99,071 miles since its first registration in July 2018. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 8,643 per year, the vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record from 2024 through to its most recent test in March 2026. The only recorded failure occurred in April 2023, which was resolved to allow a pass.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% average MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to coil springs, tyres, and corrosion.
