The 2010 Vauxhall Insignia has an overall defect rate of 305 defects per 100 vehicles, which is slightly higher than the average rate of 294 defects for cars of the same year. Notably, the Insignia stands out positively in categories such as steering, body/structure, and equipment, with defect rates lower than the yearly averages by 30%, 23%, and 22%, respectively. However, it has a significantly higher defect rate in the 'Other' category, at 49%, compared to the average of 33%.

Overall, while the Insignia shows strengths in specific areas, it also faces challenges that should be considered by potential buyers.
