The VAUXHALL INSIGNIA (2008-14) 5DR SPORTS TOURER 1.8 140 SE is the estate version of Vauxhall’s large family car, offering a longer load area than the Insignia hatchback. In the UK used-car market it sits among practical mainstream estates, competing with cars such as the Ford Mondeo Estate and Volkswagen Passat Estate. Its SE trim gives it a more comfort-focused appeal, while the 1.8-litre petrol engine suits buyers who prefer petrol power. It is well suited to family journeys, commuting and holidays, with estate-car versatility for pushchairs, shopping or luggage. The familiar, understated design and spacious cabin make it an easy-going alternative to an SUV, without the taller ride height. Compared with rivals, the Insignia is known for offering generous space and a substantial-car feel at accessible used prices. Mycarcheck’s nine look-ups covered five VINs; averages were a £1,900 private-sale valuation, 106,000 miles, 9,000 miles yearly and 3.6 previous keepers on record.
