About the Vauxhall Insignia

Enter the 17 characters of a Vauxhall Insignia VIN and the free decoder returns the manufacturer, the model year and the country of manufacture. No registration is needed. Our data lists 11 versions, from the Insignia I Hatchback and Saloon to the Insignia II Grand Sport and Sports Tourer, with model years from 2008 to the present, since the car is still built. Body styles are Wagon, Hatchback and Sedan, and power runs from 110 to 260 hp.

A VIN does not carry accidents, mileage, theft or owners, so the decoder cannot show them. That information comes from a paid vehicle history report. On a car you are viewing, compare the decoded model year, body style and power with the listing and the registration document, and check that the VIN on the car matches the paperwork character for character.

How can I confirm which Insignia version a car is from its VIN?

The decoder gives you the model year, which narrows down the versions in our data, such as the Sports Tourer, Grand Sport or the versions marked facelift 2013 and facelift 2020. Then match that against the body style you can see on the car and the details in the registration document.

What should I compare between the VIN plate and the documents?

All 17 characters should be identical on the car and in the paperwork, and none of them should be I, O or Q. The tenth character encodes the model year, so it should fit the year stated in the documents and the advert.

What will the decoder not tell me about an Insignia?

It reads only the VIN, so it shows the manufacturer, model year and country of manufacture and nothing about the car's past. Accidents, mileage, theft and previous owners are not stored in a VIN.
