Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and a thorough mech
When viewing this Insignia, pay close attention to the braking system. The 2024 MOT failure specifically noted front brake pads being less than 1.5mm thick and lipped discs; you should verify if the discs and pads were replaced at that time or if they are nearing the end of their life again. Ask for receipts to confirm recent brake work.
Given the high mileage of 110,139 miles, check the service history for regular oil changes, which is critical for the 1956cc diesel engine. Inspect the tyres and suspension components, as the aggregate data for this model shows coil springs and tyres as common failure points. Finally, ensure all exterior lighting, such as the nearside rear indicator mentioned in the 2026 MOT, is fully operational and the lens is secure.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Insignia is designed for higher mileage driving, offering relatively efficient fuel economy on motorways compared to petrol alternatives. However, buyers should be aware of potential ULEZ or Clean Air Zone charges depending on the specific emissions standard of this 2014 model.
Insurance groups for this model vary widely depending on engine output and trim, so obtain a quote before purchasing. Maintenance costs will likely be influenced by the high mileage, with more frequent requirements for suspension components and braking hardware. Estimated annual running costs typically fall in the mid-range for a large diesel saloon.
Focus your inspection on the braking components. The MOT history explicitly flags thin brake pads and lipped discs, so look for any signs of grinding or reduced stopping power during a test drive. Also, check the nearside rear indicator assembly to ensure the defective lens noted in the January 2026 test has been properly addressed.
Because aggregate data for the Insignia highlights coil springs and corrosion as top failure reasons, inspect the wheel arches and underbody for signs of rust. Check the suspension for any knocking sounds over bumps, which could indicate the coil spring issues common to this model.
This 2014 white Vauxhall Insignia 1.9L diesel has covered 110,139 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 8,643 miles per year. The MOT history shows a mix of results, including a failure in early 2024 due to thin front brake pads and a recent minor defect regarding a nearside rear indicator lens. The vehicle has undergone five recorded tests, showing a pattern of wear-and-tear items rather than major structural failures.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% MOT pass rate, with common issues frequently involving coil springs, tyres, and corrosion.
