Our Verdict
A viable budget option for those needing
Focus your attention on the service history, specifically looking for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, which are critical maintenance items for the 1.9L diesel engine. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, check for any invoices relating to suspension work, as this is a common area of wear for high-mileage Insignias.
Verify if the tyre advisories from December 2023 (rear tyres) and December 2024 (front tyres) were addressed with new replacements. Use the high total mileage as a point of negotiation, as components such as the clutch and DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) may be approaching the end of their natural lifespan.
The 1.9L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, particularly on motorway journeys, though fuel economy will be lower in urban environments. Tax and insurance will be reflective of a 2009 registration and the Insignia's specific insurance group.
Maintenance costs for an older diesel can be higher due to the potential need for DPF cleaning or suspension refreshes. Expect a moderate annual spend on consumables and preventative maintenance to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Carefully inspect all four tyres; the MOT history shows a pattern of tyres wearing close to the legal limit in both 2023 and 2024. Check the tread depth and look for uneven wear which could indicate alignment issues.
In line with aggregate model data, specifically inspect the coil springs for cracks and the chassis/undercarriage for signs of corrosion. These are the most frequent failure points for this model across the wider UK fleet and should be verified during a physical inspection.
This blue 2009 Vauxhall Insignia has recorded five consecutive MOT passes between 2021 and 2025. It has covered 142,319 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of approximately 3,000 to 5,000 miles per year in recent records. The vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures in the provided data, though it has a history of tyre wear advisories.
The Insignia has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points including coil springs, tyres, and corrosion.
