Our Story

About Marshall-Astley Motors

Family-run, honest, and built on the belief that buying a car should be a pleasure — not a chore.

Who We Are

A Family Business Built on Honest Motoring

Marshall-Astley Motors was established in 2024 with a clear purpose: to give local people access to carefully selected used cars at genuinely fair prices, and to make the whole process as straightforward as possible.

We're based near Sudbury in Derbyshire, with easy access from Burton upon Trent, Derby, Uttoxeter, Lichfield, and Swadlincote. We're not a large franchise with high overheads — we're a small, family-run operation where every car gets proper personal attention before it's put up for sale.

We hand-pick every vehicle ourselves, checking it thoroughly to make sure it's something we'd be happy for our own family to drive. All vehicles are HPI clear, and we're always fully transparent about a car's history and condition.

No pushy sales tactics, no hidden charges, and always time to answer your questions properly. Our customers come back to us and recommend us to their friends and family — that's the kind of reputation we're building.

In-House Warranty Included
Every eligible car we sell comes with a 3-month engine and gearbox warranty at no extra cost. Extended warranty packages are also available for greater long-term peace of mind.
Hand-Picked Every Time
We source and personally vet every car before it arrives on our forecourt. If we're not fully satisfied it meets our standard, it doesn't go on sale.
Easy to Reach from Burton
Our Sudbury site is just minutes from the A50 — a quick journey from Burton upon Trent, Derby, Uttoxeter, Lichfield and Swadlincote.
No Pressure, Ever
We give you space to browse and think. There's no sales pressure here — just honest advice and time to make the right decision for you.
