About the 2021 DFSK UNCLASSIFIED
The 2021 DFSK UNCLASSIFIED is a small family car with a 1240cc petrol engine. 48 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a rare model on UK roads. It sits in the bottom 96% of 2021 cars for MOT pass rates.
With an average of 9,842 miles at 5 years old, DFSK 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.
2021 DFSK UNCLASSIFIED Fuel Costs
The 1240cc petrol engine offers a reasonable balance between performance and economy. Expect around 42 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,137 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).
What does it cost to own a 2021 DFSK UNCLASSIFIED?
Total estimated annual running cost is £1,737 (£145/month), broken down as £1137 fuel, £195 road tax, £55 MOT, and £350 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 83% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.
