About the 2015 CHAUSSON FLASH
The 2015 CHAUSSON FLASH is a family car with a 2198cc diesel engine. 167 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 2015, the average MOT pass rate is 83%, and this model beats that benchmark.
With an average of 26,732 miles at 9 years old, CHAUSSON FLASH 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.

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.
