Our Verdict
A sensible choice for long-distance cruising, offering a remarkably clean MOT record despite higher mileage. While the mileage is above the national average, the lack of recorded defects suggests a history of consistent maintenance.
When inspecting this Insignia, prioritize the service history over the MOT record; with mileage over the 100,000-mile mark, verify if the timing belt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's schedule. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine, which can be a known point for this model, though not noted in this specific vehicle's history.
Given the high mileage, perform a thorough test drive to ensure the clutch is smooth and the gear changes are crisp. Since the vehicle failed an MOT once in early 2022 but passed immediately upon retest, ask the owner what the specific reason for failure was to ensure it was a minor consumable item rather than a recurring mechanical issue.
The 1.6cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency on longer journeys, making it cost-effective for high-mileage drivers. Tax and insurance will vary based on the specific trim and driver profile, but it typically sits in a mid-range bracket for a large family car.
Expect an annual running cost of approximately £1,200-£1,500, accounting for fuel, tax, and routine maintenance. Maintenance costs for Vauxhall parts are generally affordable, though suspension components may begin to wear more frequently at this mileage level.
Inspect the underside for any signs of corrosion, as aggregate data identifies this as a top reason for MOT failures for the Insignia. While this specific vehicle has no recorded defects, you should check the coil springs for cracks or sagging, as these are common failure points for this model.
Check the tyre tread and even wear; tyre-related issues are frequent across the model data provided. Given the 106,519 miles, also inspect the brake discs and pads for thickness or thinning, which could indicate they are nearing their replacement limit.
This 2015 Vauxhall Insignia has covered 106,519 miles, which is significantly higher than the fleet average of approximately 8,643 miles per year. Despite the high usage, the MOT history is notably clean, with the most recent test in March 2025 showing no defects or advisories. The blue 1.6L diesel engine is a common configuration, generally suited for motorway use.
The Insignia has a 77.7% average MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to coil springs, tyres, and corrosion.
