What's the 2010 Opel Insignia like?

I am thinking of buying an Opel insignia circa 2010. Has that model any history to worry about?

Hi Michael,

Insignias are quite well built (they are German, after all), but seem to be prone to electrical gremlins. Check to make sure that all the buttons and switches work as they should and if anything doesn't, walk away. It's not unusual for the alarm to start sounding for no apparent reason, so be aware of that. Early models also had suspect boot seals that could let in rain, so have a careful check in the boot for any signs of dampness.
