About the 2016 FIAT AUTOCRUISE
The 2016 FIAT AUTOCRUISE is a large car with a 2999cc diesel engine. 91 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. It ranks in the top 6% of all 2016 cars for reliability.
With an average of 22,251 miles at 8 years old, FIAT AUTOCRUISE 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 FIAT AUTOCRUISE Fuel Costs
The 2999cc diesel engine is on the larger side, so fuel won't be this car's strong point. 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 FIAT AUTOCRUISE?
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 98% pass rate. These cars rarely fail their MOT, so unexpected bills are less likely.

Buying a Used 2016 FIAT AUTOCRUISE

If you're flexible on year, the 2015 model has the highest pass rate at 98%. Note: with only 91 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
