How to read this
Every Vauxhall in our first-car set, ranked by our estimated annual premium for a new driver, and priced again at each age we model.
All 12 qualifying cars in our set are listed below — nothing has been left out to make the ranking look tidier. The order is worked out at build time from our own dataset every time it is regenerated, so when the underlying figures move, this page moves with them. £1,195 separates the top of the table from the bottom.
The order is the same at every age we model. Not one of the 12 cars below changes position between 17, 19, 21 — the figures fall as you get older, but they fall together, so the ranking itself is age-independent.
Estimates, not quotes. Insurance figures are our modelled expected annual premium for a new driver on a comprehensive black-box policy, and they are shown as a range because that is the honest way to present a model. The range is not the same width for every car: it widens where our own data is thinner, so a wider range means less certainty rather than a worse car. The ranking uses our central figure.
Every figure is anchored to London, because that is where our premium data is strongest, and London postcodes carry some of the highest premiums in the country. This page cannot know your postcode, so no row here gets our narrowest confidence band. Put your own postcode into the First-Car Finder and both the figure and the range get closer to you. Prices marked * are an editorial estimate rather than a measured listing median — worth cross-checking against live adverts.
How we work these figures out
Insurance estimates are expected annual premiums for a new driver on a comprehensive, black-box policy in London, calibrated against published young-driver premium datasets; the low–high range reflects how much real quotes vary from person to person. Running costs assume 6,500 miles a year at £1.51/L petrol or £1.65/L diesel, DESNZ Jul 2026 (and 26.1p/kWh, Ofgem cap for the electric ones) plus the standard MOT fee, and exclude servicing. Insurance groups, typical prices and MOT failure rates are read straight off our dataset, which is regenerated from its cited sources rather than edited by hand — so this page has no figures of its own to go stale.
These are estimates based on public data, not quotes, and Vouched does not give insurance advice. Treat the ranking as a starting point for comparison shopping, not a number to hold a provider to. When you're ready, we introduce you to authorised providers for a real quote.
