About the 2017 AIXAM CROSSLINE
The 2017 AIXAM CROSSLINE is a city car with a 505cc petrol engine. 84 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a rare model on UK roads. It sits in the bottom 88% of 2017 cars for MOT pass rates.
With an average of 21,706 miles at 9 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.
2017 AIXAM CROSSLINE Fuel Costs
The modest 505cc petrol engine keeps fuel costs low, which is a real advantage for a city car. Expect around 50 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £955 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).
What does it cost to own a 2017 AIXAM CROSSLINE?
Total estimated annual running cost is £1,555 (£130/month), broken down as £955 fuel, £195 road tax, £55 MOT, and £350 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 81% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.
AIXAM CROSSLINE Reliability Trend
Newer AIXAM CROSSLINEs show better MOT pass rates than older ones, with an average improvement of 5 percentage points.
Buying a Used 2017 AIXAM CROSSLINE
At 9 years old, this is a solid used buy if you find one with good service history. Depreciation has levelled off, so you won't lose much more value. Focus on condition over mileage. If you're flexible on year, the 2015 model has the highest pass rate at 83%. Note: with only 84 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
Common Issues to Watch For
Based on the 2017 AIXAM CROSSLINE's fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.
Coil Pack Failure
Medium riskSmaller petrol engines are prone to ignition coil failures, causing misfires and rough running. Replacement is £50-£150 per coil.
Suspension Wear
Medium riskShock absorbers, springs, and anti-roll bar links typically need attention around this age. Listen for clunks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear.
Service History
Low riskAlways request a full service history. Regular servicing is the single best indicator of how well a car has been maintained, regardless of mileage.
