Buying a 4 year old Vauxhall Insignia with over 100k miles
Discussion
Hi all,
So as the title suggests I am interested in purchasing a 2014 Insignia (138bhp 2l diesel) which has 110k miles for about 4.5k. Presumably this means the car has spent its time on motorways and thus been under less stress, however even with a good service history would this type of mileage/car be worth a miss? Is their common issues with insignias at this mileage that are out of the norm and if so what should I look out for?
Thanks

Best thing you can do is go and give the car a good looking over. Take it for a good test drive with some motorway or DC and some town driving. Check for good ability to track in a straight line, no excessive knocks or rattles, quiet brakes, nice steady idle etc.
Check the service history is up to date. Don’t know if these have a timing belt or chain, but if it’s a belt worth checking it’s done.
Age or mileage are not always a good indicator and I have bought older cars that have been looked after that have served me well, and newer cars that have let me down due to abuse at the hands of former owners!
