The VAUXHALL INSIGNIA (2008-14) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 2.0 CDTI ECOFLEX EU5 160 ELITE 6SPD is a roomy, large family estate, offering a practical alternative to an SUV or saloon. In the UK used-car market, it sits among affordable long-distance cars, with a generous boot and space for passengers and luggage. Its sleek, stretched shape gives it a more polished look than many traditional estates. Best suited to families, commuters and drivers covering regular motorway miles, the 2.0-litre diesel balances strong, relaxed performance with Ecoflex fuel-saving intent. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 57 checks across 35 different VINs, giving a useful snapshot of cars being researched; the average recorded mileage is 128,000 miles and average annual use 7,000. Elite trim adds comfort, while the estate’s load space makes it a sensible rival to Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat estates. Checks also show an average private-sale value of £2,200 and about 3.6 previous keepers.
