Our Verdict
A reasonable choice for buyers seeking a
Verify that the fractured nearside rear coil spring and worn front lower suspension bushes identified in March 2025 were professionally replaced. You should request invoices for these specific repairs to ensure the work was carried out to a high standard.
Carefully review the service history to ensure the 2.0L diesel engine has been serviced at regular intervals, particularly regarding oil changes. Given the 'low coolant' advisory in 2025, check for any signs of leaks or residue around the coolant expansion tank and radiator.
The 1956cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, making it suitable for motorway commuting. However, as a larger vehicle, it will fall into a higher insurance group and tax bracket than smaller hatchbacks.
Typical maintenance will include periodic replacement of tyres and brake components. Based on the engine size and age, the estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,500-£1,900.
Pay close attention to the suspension system. The MOT history for this vehicle specifically highlights worn front lower suspension arm bushes and a fractured rear coil spring; these are also listed as top failure reasons for the Insignia model overall. Ensure there are no unusual knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces.
Check the coolant level and look for any signs of overheating or leaks, referencing the low coolant advisory from March 2025. Finally, inspect the condition of all four tyres to ensure they meet the legal tread depth, following the 2024 failure for the offside rear tyre.
This black 2015 Vauxhall Insignia has recorded 87,237 miles, which is below the average annual mileage for this model. The MOT history shows a clean pass in February 2026, following a 2025 failure that required the replacement of a fractured rear coil spring. The vehicle has also had previous issues with tyre tread and registration lighting.
The Insignia has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with coil springs and corrosion being common failure points across the model range.
