2015 Vauxhall Insignia Sri Nav Cdti Eco S/s

CarHunch analysed 341 real MOT records for the 2015 Vauxhall Insignia Sri Nav Cdti Eco S/s. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2015 Insignia diesel has a first-time pass rate of just 50.5%, nearly 30 percentage points below the UK average of 80%, which is a significant reliability red flag for any potential buyer. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort, so the failures aren't safety-critical—but the sheer volume of them suggests these cars need proper pre-purchase inspection before committing.

With a median mileage of 91,498 miles for a nine-year-old car, these Insignias are running at typical wear levels, yet they're still averaging 0.44 failures per MOT attempt. Before buying, get a full diagnostic scan focused on the common diesel issues afflicting this generation—emissions components and turbo problems are likely culprits behind the low pass rate.

What to check before buying a 2015 Vauxhall Insignia Sri Nav Cdti Eco S/s

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
