Body style
Hatchback, four-door saloon, Sports Tourer estate, all bought. Sports Tourer carries airport + chauffeur premium; the hatch + saloon are the PHV workhorses. Country Tourer estate also fine.
PHV + chauffeur specialist
Sell my Vauxhall Insignia. PHV trade prices, no chauffeur-mileage penalty.
The PHV mainstay across the West Midlands and North-East, plus the retired chauffeur Sports Tourer. Mk1 or Mk2, ULEZ-compliant or not, live or lapsed plate. We sell to active PHV + chauffeur operators.
What we look for
Four things that shape your Insignia offer.
Engine
Mk1 (2008-17) 2.0 CDTi diesel is the PHV mainstay. Mk2 (2017-22) 1.6 BiTurbo diesel + 1.5 petrol both bought. Euro 6 examples (post-2015) are ULEZ-compliant; older diesels still bought, priced for export + out-of-London trade.
Licensing badge
Live PHV plate from any UK council adds licensed-trade premium, especially West Midlands (Coventry, Wolverhampton, Birmingham) and North-East. Lapsed plates fine, we plate-strip free.
Mileage in context
PHV Insignias routinely cover 180,000-280,000 miles. Chauffeur examples often higher. We price on body + engine condition + plate status, not an algorithmic cap.
Generation breakdown
Mk1 + Mk2, and what each is worth.
Mk1 (2008-2017)
The PHV mainstay through the 2010s. 2.0 CDTi diesel in 130, 160, 195 bhp tunes. Hatch / saloon / Sports Tourer. Not ULEZ-compliant before 2015 (Euro 5). Strong export + out-of-London trade demand.
Typical condition: 180,000-300,000 miles. Most active PHV stock; chauffeur fleet retirement starting.
Mk2 (2017-2022)
All-new platform, lighter, refreshed cabin. 1.6 BiTurbo diesel + 1.5 petrol. Euro 6 from launch so ULEZ-compliant. Discontinued 2022, supply of low-mileage examples is now finite.
Typical condition: 80,000-180,000 miles. Premium PHV stock + low-mileage chauffeur retirement.
Common questions
Insignia-specific FAQs.
Do you buy high-mileage chauffeur Insignias?+
Yes. A retired chauffeur Insignia at 250,000 motorway miles is a normal sale. We price on body condition + service history + remaining ULEZ life, not an algorithmic cap. Chauffeur paperwork (service intervals + driver log) shapes the offer up.
Is a Coventry-plated PHV Insignia worth more than a non-plated one?+
Yes, a live PHV plate from Coventry, Wolverhampton, Birmingham or any council adds licensed-trade demand. We plate-strip free if you're selling out of the trade; if you're upgrading within the trade, the plate value stays in your favour.
Pre-2015 diesel Insignia, is it worthless because of ULEZ?+
No. Pre-2015 diesel Insignias have strong out-of-London PHV + continental export demand. We price for those destinations rather than treat the vehicle as scrap. Generalist instant-quote buyers tend to drop 30-40% on non-compliant; we don't.
I still owe finance, what happens?+
We settle the outstanding balance direct with your lender and pay you the equity left. Bring the settlement letter on collection day. No fees, no penalty for selling under finance.
