What an Opel Insignia costs, by model year

Asking prices from 9,231 European listings. The typical column is the median — half the cars advertised that year ask less, half ask more. The range is the 10th to 90th percentile, so it shows what condition, mileage and trim are worth on top of the year alone.

2012451€4,777€2,889 – €8,499

A 2023 Opel Insignia typically asks €20,584; a 2013 car asks €5,569, about 73% less. A car priced well under its year's range is usually telling you something — high mileage, a category write-off, an import with a history you cannot see from the advert, or an odometer that has been wound back.

Normal mileage for an Opel Insignia

Median odometer reading by model year, from the same European listings. Use it as the reference point for the car you are looking at: an odometer far below the median for its year is the single most common way a used car is misrepresented in Europe.

A 2021 Opel Insignia typically shows 149,106 km — roughly 29,821 km a year. A VIN check compares the readings recorded against that specific car over time, so a reading that went down, or a gap that is too clean, shows up as an inconsistency rather than a guess.

Official CO₂ and registration data

From the EU's mandatory CO₂ monitoring dataset — every new Opel/Vauxhall Insignia registered in the EU is counted here. Registration volumes show which years and engines were actually popular, which is what determines parts availability and resale demand later.

CO₂ figures are registration-weighted averages across all trims of that year, on the WLTP cycle where the year has it and NEDC before that. Your car's own figure depends on its specific version.

Safety recalls affecting the Opel Insignia

46 recall campaigns naming this model are on file. A recall is only a problem if it was never carried out — the check that matters is whether this particular car was fixed.

The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

Opel Insignia VIN check — questions

What does an Opel Insignia VIN check tell me?
Entering an Opel Insignia's 17-character VIN returns a free decode — factory specification and build data read straight out of the VIN. The paid report adds what the VIN alone cannot tell you: recorded odometer readings, stolen-vehicle records, open recalls matched to the build, the cross-border registration trail and a market-value estimate. It costs EUR 8.90.
What is an Opel Insignia worth?
On the European market a 2023 Opel Insignia typically asks €20,584, with most cars falling between €13,480 and €41,690. Older cars fall away year by year — a 2013 example typically asks €5,569. Those are asking prices from 9,231 live listings, so a private sale usually settles below them.
How many kilometres should an Opel Insignia have?
A 2021 Opel Insignia typically shows 149,106 km on the clock — about 29,821 km a year. A car well below that for its age is not automatically suspicious, but it is the pattern odometer fraud produces, and it is worth confirming against the readings recorded for that VIN before you pay.
Does the Opel Insignia have any open recalls?
We have 46 recall campaigns on file that name this model. Whether any of them applies to a particular car depends on its build date and factory, which is what the VIN identifies — the report matches recalls to the individual vehicle rather than to the model name.
Where do I find the VIN on an Opel Insignia?
Look at the base of the windscreen on the driver's side, on the driver's door pillar or jamb sticker, and in the registration document. All three should read the same 17 characters. If they do not, stop — a mismatch between the plate, the document and the stamped VIN is the classic sign of a cloned or cut-and-shut car.
