Used Vauxhall Insignia Wheel Hub

The Insignia ran in two generations: the Mk1 from 2008 to 2017 (facelifted in 2013) and the Mk2 (also sold as the Grand Sport and Sports Tourer) from 2017 onwards. Hubs are generally shared within each generation, but whether a specific used hub crosses the 2013 facelift boundary is worth confirming with the breaker against your registration plate. Running gear design changed significantly between Mk1 and Mk2, so those two generations do not share hubs.

This question spans the 2013 facelift boundary within the Mk1 generation, so the answer is not straightforward. Both years sit within the Mk1 (2008–2017) family, but Vauxhall made running gear updates at the 2013 facelift that may affect hub compatibility. Name your registration to the breaker and ask them to check part numbers before buying.

Yes, engine size can matter because larger or more powerful engines are often paired with bigger brake assemblies, and the hub has to match the brake setup fitted to your car. A hub from a smaller-engined Insignia may not suit a 2.0 CDTi or V6 petrol variant with a larger brake specification. Always tell the breaker your engine size and let them cross-reference it against the hub they have in stock.

Trim level alone — whether SE, SRi, Design, or Elite — does not determine which hub you need, as fitment is driven by generation and engine size rather than specification level. That said, higher trims or sportier variants can be paired with different brake packages from the factory, so if your car has upgraded brakes, mention that to the breaker. You may also receive a hub with different surface finish or dust-shield colour, which is cosmetic and does not affect function.

Yes, always specify NS (nearside, passenger side) or OS (offside, driver side) when you contact a breaker. Front hubs in particular can differ between sides due to steering and driveshaft geometry, and ordering the wrong side is a common and avoidable mistake. Rear hubs on the Insignia are typically symmetrical, but confirm this with the breaker for your specific year and setup.

For the Mk1 Insignia, the Sports Tourer and hatchback share the same platform and front hub design, so the body style itself does not change the hub specification. The factors that matter are generation, engine size, and which corner of the car the hub came from. Confirm with the breaker using your registration to be sure, as individual build variations can exist within a model range.
