About the 2016 CHAUSSON WELCOME
The 2016 CHAUSSON WELCOME is a large car with a 2287cc diesel engine. 204 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a less common model in the UK market. Among all cars from 2016, the average MOT pass rate is 85%, and this model beats that benchmark.
With an average of 23,880 miles at 8 years old, CHAUSSON WELCOME 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.
