Our Verdict
A sensible choice for those seeking a low-mileage SUV with a clean recent history. This vehicle presents well for its age, suggesting it was used less than the average.
When inspecting this specific Antara, the low mileage is its primary selling point, but you must verify that the vehicle has been serviced regularly to maintain this condition. 2.2L diesel engines can be sensitive to poor maintenance schedules. Check the service history for oil changes and filter replacements, as these are critical for the longevity of the turbo diesel engine.
Given the MOT failure in January 2026, ask the owner exactly what caused the failure. Although the record shows no defects on the re-test, knowing the reason provides insight into how the previous owner managed maintenance requirements. Check for any signs of oil leaks around the engine block, which are common on these models as they age.
The 2231cc diesel engine is designed for longer journeys but sits in a higher tax bracket than smaller counterparts. You should expect moderate fuel economy, typical for a heavy SUV of this era. Tax bands and insurance will vary based on your personal profile, but generally, this model falls into a mid-range category.
Maintenance costs for the Antara are relatively standard for a large SUV, though parts can be more expensive. Estimate your annual costs including fuel, tax, and routine servicing to be around £1,200-£1,600.
Focus on the tyres and brakes, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from uneven wear or corrosion if used primarily for short trips. Inspect the underbody for any signs of rust, which is a known concern for Vauxhall vehicles of this period.
Since the most recent MOT failed and then passed at 71,976 miles, ensure the components involved in that failure have been properly replaced or adjusted. Test the clutch and ensure there is no slippage or vibrations, as the 2.2L engine puts significant torque strain on the drivetrain.
This 2014 Vauxhall Antara features the larger 2.2L diesel engine and has covered 71,976 miles, which is significantly below the typical average for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The MOT history is consistent, with five passes recorded and only one failure in January 2026 which was immediately rectified. Its white paint and relatively low mileage make it a potentially strong value proposition for a family-sized SUV.
The Vauxhall Antara is generally considered a sturdy SUV, though the 2.2 diesel engine requires consistent maintenance to avoid expensive repairs.
