VAUXHALL INSIGNIA Common

As of 2026 Q1, 182,454 VAUXHALL INSIGNIAs remain registered in the UK — still a familiar sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 268,049 in 2019 Q1 — only 68% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 85,595 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 17,391 a year (9.5% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2033 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
