Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Pay close attention to the chassis and suspension components. The MOT history specifically flags corrosion on the Macpherson struts across two different years, which is a known weak point for this model. Ensure you verify when the timing belt and water pump were last replaced, as these are critical maintenance items for this engine at this mileage.
Negotiate based on the remaining life of the tyres; the most recent MOT pass in January 2026 still carries an advisory for rear tyres being worn close to the legal limit. Check for any evidence of recent suspension work to confirm the January 2026 failure was fully rectified rather than just patched.
The 1956cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency over long distances, though tax and insurance will be higher than smaller engine variants. Maintenance costs for the Insignia are typically moderate, but the aggregate data suggests a higher frequency of coil spring and tyre replacements.
Expected costs include diesel fuel, road tax based on the 2014 emissions bracket, and insurance. Given the mileage and the age of the vehicle, a budget for annual wear-and-tear repairs is essential.
Prioritise an inspection of the front Macpherson struts, as these were flagged for corrosion in both May 2024 and May 2025. Check for any further deterioration or signs of structural rust on the underside of the vehicle, as corrosion is a top failure reason for this model across the UK.
Inspect the rear suspension bushes and brake pads. While these were the cause of the failure on 2026-01-17, you should verify the quality of the replacements. Finally, check the tread depth of the rear tyres, as they were noted as being close to the legal limit during the most recent test.
This white 2014 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0L diesel has recorded 116,192 miles. The MOT history reveals a trend of corrosion on the front Macpherson struts starting in 2024, alongside a failure in January 2026 involving brake pads and suspension bushes.
The Insignia has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failures typically involving coil springs, tyres, and corrosion.
