Keeping and servicing a 170,000 mile insignia
Discussion
So the used car market is crazy at the moment! High prices and limited availability. I'd like a 2020 or 2021 Insignia 2 litre diesel but there just aren't any for sale. Guess I'll have to be patient...
But anyway, I've had a 2014 insignia 2.0 cdti for the last 7 years and taken it from 26,000 miles right up to 168,000 miles. I still like my car, it's quick enough, super on diesel and it's been impeccably reliable. With the current market I can't see that I'll find a replacement which ticks all my boxes in the near future. So how long can an insignia go on for? I'll be due to have a new cambelt and water pump (again) this year. Any other maintenance I should consider? New transmission oil? New power steering fluid? I'll probably replace the battery before next winter as I'm still on the original. Can anyone share their experience of running an insignia or something similar up to 200,000 miles or beyond?
