Thoughts on this Insignia deal?

Hi Shane, I'm looking to buy a Vaux Insignia 2.0 Estate SRI but it has 246Km, seller is asking for 3.8k euros...can you tell me if this is a good idea? Worried kms are too high...otherwise car looks great and has NCT until 2020. Many thanks!

Hi Gill,

That is pretty high mileage, and a pretty low price, which does set a few alarm bells ringing. The Insignia is a decent enough car when it comes to reliability, but what you need to see now is a fully stamped up service book, lots and lots of receipts and all the car’s previous NCTs and details. If it comes with a stack of paperwork and every service box ticked, then it should be OK. If not, walk away.
