About the 2019 FIAT HOBBY
The 2019 FIAT HOBBY is a large car with a 2287cc diesel engine. 48 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 2019, the average MOT pass rate is 90%, and this model beats that benchmark.
With an average of 17,841 miles at 5 years old, FIAT HOBBY 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.
2019 FIAT HOBBY Fuel Costs
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.
What does it cost to own a 2019 FIAT HOBBY?
Total estimated annual running cost is £1,690 (£141/month), broken down as £1245 fuel, £190 road tax, £55 MOT, and £200 predicted repairs. The low repair estimate reflects the excellent 94% pass rate. These cars rarely fail their MOT, so unexpected bills are less likely.
Buying a Used 2019 FIAT HOBBY
At 5 years old, the FIAT HOBBY offers good value with plenty of life remaining. Most manufacturer warranties will have expired, so a pre-purchase inspection is worth the cost. Note: with only 48 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
