About the 2016 AIXAM CROSSLINE
The 2016 AIXAM CROSSLINE is a city car with a 599cc diesel engine. 78 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. It sits in the bottom 84% of 2016 cars for MOT pass rates.
With an average of 18,903 miles at 8 years old, AIXAM CROSSLINE 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.
2016 AIXAM CROSSLINE Fuel Costs
The modest 599cc diesel engine keeps fuel costs low, which is a real advantage for a city car. Expect around 55 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £905 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.
