The VAUXHALL INSIGNIA (2008-14) 5DR HATCHBACK 2.0 CDTI ECOFLEX DPF SS 130 ES 6SPD is a roomy, family-sized hatchback positioned among the UK’s alternatives to the Ford Mondeo and Volkswagen Passat. Its long shape and generous cabin make it more suited to family and work journeys than tight city driving. The 130bhp diesel and six-speed manual suit regular commuting and motorway miles, while Ecoflex stop-start technology is intended to help reduce fuel use. The five-door layout gives easy access and luggage space, and ES trim provides a comfort-focused specification. It is a sensible, understated choice rather than a sporty or premium statement. mycarcheck.com has recorded 160 checks across 74 different VINs, offering a snapshot of interest. Checked examples average 125,000 miles, around 9,000 annually, and 3.425 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £2,000.
