Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution before purc
Given the high mileage and the history of MOT advisories, you should prioritize a thorough inspection of the engine bay to identify the source of the 'not excessive' oil leak mentioned in three consecutive years. Negotiate the price downwards to account for the immediate need for brake component replacement, as the 2024 MOT specifically flagged worn front discs and thin inner pads.
Request a detailed service history to see if the recurring tyre issues—such as the feathering and low tread depth seen in 2022—were addressed through wheel alignments. Ensure that the strut mount bushes mentioned in the December 2024 test have been replaced, as these can affect steering precision and noise levels.
As a 2.0L diesel, this Insignia will likely fall into a mid-range insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy should be reasonable for long-distance motorway driving, though the high mileage suggests it has been used primarily for such purposes.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average due to the documented pattern of needing frequent replacements for brakes and tyres. You should budget for regular servicing and potential repairs to suspension components like coil springs or strut mounts, which have appeared in the MOT record.
Focus heavily on the braking system; the 2024 record highlights worn front discs and thin inner pads, and the 2023 record noted worn rear tyres and low brake fluid. Check the condition of all four tyres, specifically looking for the 'feathering' or uneven wear patterns seen in previous tests.
Inspect the suspension thoroughly, paying close attention to the front strut mount bushes and the rear coil springs, both of which have been flagged in recent MOT history. Finally, perform a close inspection of the engine area for signs of the oil leak that has been a consistent advisory since at least 2022.
This 2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L diesel has covered 117,911 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 8,643 miles per year. The MOT history shows a series of advisories and failures related to consumable items such as tyres, brake discs, and pads, alongside a recurring oil leak noted in 2022, 2023, and 2024. While it has passed its recent tests, the frequency of wear-related issues is notable.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being coil springs, tyres, and corrosion.
