About the 2014 CHAUSSON BEST
The 2014 CHAUSSON BEST is a large car with a 2287cc diesel engine. 77 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 2014, the average MOT pass rate is 81%, and this model beats that benchmark.
With an average of 28,948 miles at 10 years old, CHAUSSON BEST owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.

The 2287cc diesel engine offers a reasonable balance between performance and economy. Expect around 40 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,245 per year at current diesel prices of 148p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year). Diesel cars of this age should have their DPF (diesel particulate filter) checked, as replacements can be costly.

Total estimated annual running cost is £1,750 (£146/month), broken down as £1245 fuel, £250 road tax, £55 MOT, and £200 predicted repairs. The low repair estimate reflects the excellent 90% pass rate. These cars rarely fail their MOT, so unexpected bills are less likely.
Buying a Used 2014 CHAUSSON BEST
At 10 years old, the CHAUSSON BEST is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. Note: with only 77 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
