Our Verdict
This 2014 Vauxhall Insignia Diesel prese
When inspecting this Insignia, pay close attention to the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs that failed the MOT in March 2023, to ensure replacements were fitted with quality parts. Check the remaining tread on all four tyres, as tyre wear advisories have appeared frequently in the vehicle's test history (noted in March 2022 and September 2023). Review any available service documentation alongside the MOT certificates to verify what maintenance work has been carried out independently of the statutory tests.
Equipped with a 1956.0cc diesel engine, this model falls into standard diesel taxation bands and insurance groups typical of mid-sized family hatchbacks. Fuel economy should be competitive for long-distance motorway driving, which is where these large diesels traditionally perform best. Maintenance costs will largely be dictated by suspension wear, brake condition, and tyre replacements, bringing typical annual running costs to an estimated £1,100-£1,400.
Inspect the rear coil springs closely for any signs of corrosion, sagging, or recent replacement, referencing the March 2023 failure where both nearside and offside rear springs were found fractured. Examine the tyre tread depth and wear patterns across all corners to address the recurring advisories for tyres worn close to the legal limit. Check the brake discs and pads, suspension bushes, and underbody for general corrosion, which is a known weak point highlighted in aggregate model data.
First registered in March 2014, this silver Vauxhall Insignia with a 1956.0cc diesel engine has recorded four recent MOT tests between March 2022 and September 2023. The recorded mileage stands at 86,957 miles as of September 2023. The MOT history reveals a failure in March 2023 due to fractured rear coil springs, alongside recurring tyre advisories noted across multiple tests.
With an average MOT pass rate of 77.7% across nearly 240,000 analysed vehicles, common failure points for the Insignia typically centre around coil springs, tyres, and corrosion.
