About the 2016 DETHLEFFS UNCLASSIFIED
The 2016 DETHLEFFS UNCLASSIFIED is a large car with a 2300cc diesel engine. 36 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. It ranks in the top 10% of all 2016 cars for reliability.
With an average of 23,817 miles at 8 years old, DETHLEFFS UNCLASSIFIED 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 DETHLEFFS UNCLASSIFIED Fuel Costs
The 2300cc 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.
What does it cost to own a 2016 DETHLEFFS UNCLASSIFIED?
Total estimated annual running cost is £1,750 (£146/month), broken down as £1245 fuel, £250 road tax, £55 MOT, and £200 predicted repairs. The low repair estimate reflects the excellent 97% pass rate. These cars rarely fail their MOT, so unexpected bills are less likely.
Buying a Used 2016 DETHLEFFS UNCLASSIFIED
