Vauxhall Insignia hatchback. It was mot’d this week and therefore has 13 months on it. It’s a lovely car to drive (I did 500 miles at the weekend, from Yorkshire to London and back) but it does have a few points to note: 1/ It needs a new clutch. It’s been notchy since I bought it 3 years ago but I do long journeys so it doesn’t bother me. Changing gear is fine but the clutch is at the limit of travel. 2/ Some of the paintwork is scruffy, particularly the bumpers. It was a Cat D back in 2023, when it had a rear shunt that damaged both bumpers. Again, I’ve been happy with it but you’ll see from the photos that they aren’t pretty! 3/ There’s a ding on the nsf wheel arch, courtesy of someone’s dubious parking. The positives are that it’s a big car, very comfortable, low mileage, 6 gears, has a decent spec with Apple air play etc. Tyres etc are all fine as it has just passed a mot. The car is in Yorkshire (YO61, near Easingwold). Hopefully the photos show everything you need but let me know if you need any more information.
