About the 2009 FIAT CAMPER
The 2009 FIAT CAMPER is a city car with a 0cc diesel engine. 55 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 2009, the average MOT pass rate is 75%, and this model beats that benchmark.
With an average of 50,407 miles at 15 years old, FIAT CAMPER 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.
2009 FIAT CAMPER Fuel Costs
The modest 0cc diesel engine keeps fuel costs low, which is a real advantage for a city car. Expect around 55 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £905 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 2009 FIAT CAMPER?
Total estimated annual running cost is £1,340 (£112/month), broken down as £905 fuel, £30 road tax, £55 MOT, and £350 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 84% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.

Buying a Used 2009 FIAT CAMPER

Note: with only 55 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
