Vauxhall insignia 20ltr Diesel Sri nav sports tourer Kerb weight
Hi all could anyone tell me The exact Kerb weight for this vehicle please as we are looking at changing our current caravan
Thank you andy
Vauxhall owners manuals contain (or used to) enough detail to determine the kerbweight based on the model, trim, engine, transmission and any optional extras - but look on the V5 for the Mass-in-Service - to all intents and purposes, that is the kerbweight and indeed is the figure that's used by VOSA and the police for post-1997 drivers with B-only licences when checking they're not towing more than 100%.
The details are in the owners manual or your nearest Vuaxhall dealer can tell you.
Thank you surfer and Roger for your unscientific answers. Professor I just wanted the general kerb weight not the exact to the last ounce figure lol, and I may be wrong, unfortunately I am not a prof unlike you, but pretty sure all cars now are made by robots and will roll off the production line as near as you can to the same weight some how I doubt whether paint will make a huge difference in a cars weight but hey thanks for taking the time to answer me anyway
Did you look on the V5 - what weight did it give?
Hi Andrew.
Ive just searched the web and found that "Whatcar.com"have lots of kerbweights for the Insignia.
Sorry,but dont know how to post the link on here.

Hello Andrew,
The simple answer is no one on the forum can possibly tell you you cars kerb weight, because each car as it rolls of the production line will weigh slightly differently do to manufacturing tollerances, and even the paint finish.
With a new car it is best to look at your V5 log book which is likely to give you a Mass In Running Order (MIRO) which is the nearest legal definition to kerb weight.
Alternatively take your car along to the local weigh bridge, but make sure you have it empty of all nick nacs, 90% full tank of fuel, all fother fluids topped up and a 70Kg driver.
Warning - do not rely on any third party web site for kerb weights or towing matches,some of their details are wrong and the problem is you don't know if its the data for your car or caravan.
When did the miro start being added to the V5.
My V5C shows nothing near the kerb weight.
Only gives max permissible mass (exc m/c) of 2170 whatever that is?
Car is 2009.

Mass in service is blank. On my 2009 V5C
Is this a new addition ?
As others have said refer to the handbook.
with a new car i usually take the weight from the brochure for that car/year.
Equipment levels make a big difference through a range.

All the V5C's I've seen since about 2005 have had the Mass-in-Service on them.
That's how I knew my 2006 Subaru was 1520kg compared to 1445kg in the sales brochure and my current 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe is 2017kg compared to 1987kg in the sales brochure - both figures confirmed on the local weighbridge, +/- 10kg.
My son's 2006 Vectra-C also has the Mass-in-Service on it's V5C.
