Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the vehicle's chassis and bodywork. The 2022 MOT history specifically flagged corrosion on the integral body structure and rust along the roof edge near the windscreen. You must ensure that any previous corrosion mentioned has been professionally treated and is not progressing.
Negotiate based on the high mileage and the potential for upcoming maintenance. Ask for evidence of any work carried out to address the shock absorber leak or the structural rust noted in 2022. Because this is a high-mileage diesel, check for signs of turbocharger wear or DPF issues, though these are not explicitly stated in the MOT history.
As a 1956cc diesel, this Insignia is likely to fall into a moderate insurance group and tax band typical for its era. Fuel economy should be reasonable for long-distance cruising, but maintenance costs may be higher due to the vehicle's age and high mileage.
Expect more frequent component replacements, such as suspension parts or tyres, which are common failure points for this model. An estimated annual running cost would be roughly £1,200-£1,500, factoring in fuel, tax, insurance, and a higher contingency for repairs.
The most critical area to inspect is the roof edge above the windscreen and the integral body structure. The 2022 MOT failure explicitly noted rust in these areas; check for bubbling paint or visible oxidation.
Additionally, inspect the suspension components. The nearside rear shock absorber was flagged for a serious fluid leak in 2022. While the 2023 MOT passed without defect, you should check all dampers for signs of weeping or uneven ride height. Finally, check the tyres and coil springs, as these are the most frequent failure reasons for this model aggregate.
This 2013 grey Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L diesel has covered 232,925 miles as of its last MOT in June 2023. While the most recent test was a pass with no defects, the vehicle has a history of structural corrosion and suspension issues. Given the age and extremely high mileage, this vehicle sits well outside the typical usage patterns for this model.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failures relating to coil springs, tyres, and corrosion.
