Our Verdict
Recommended for its clean recent MOT history and solid reliability, but verify repairs for 2022 issues.
Prioritise checking the 2022 MOT repairs, particularly the nearside front lower fluid leak and brake cable clip. Verify service history for regular maintenance, as diesel engines require strict upkeep. Negotiate slightly due to the 2022 failures, but the clean recent MOTs offset this. Inspect tyres for uneven wear and ensure the coolant system was properly repaired.
Diesel fuel economy averages 45-50 mpg on the motorway, but drops to 35-40 mpg in urban areas. Road tax is £140 annually (2016 diesel models fall in Band G). Insurance group 16 is moderate for a mid-size saloon. Routine maintenance (oil changes, brake checks) costs £100-£150 every 10,000 miles. Estimated annual running cost: £1,200-£1,500.
Focus on the nearside front tyre and fluid leak repairs from 2022. Check for coolant leaks under the engine and inspect brake cable clips. Review service records for oil change intervals and transmission fluid checks. Examine the exhaust system for rust or damage, common in older diesels. Test the EGR valve operation, as it can cause performance issues in Vauxhall diesels.
This 2016 Vauxhall Insignia has a largely clean MOT record, with no defects in its last three annual tests. The only notable issues occurred in 2022, including a minor fluid leak and tyre wear, which were addressed before the subsequent pass. At 139,102 miles, the mileage is slightly above average for a 10-year-old vehicle but manageable for a diesel engine.
No aggregate data available for Vauxhall Insignia, but diesel variants typically require careful maintenance of cooling systems and EGR valves.
