About the 2018 HYMER ML
The 2018 HYMER ML is a family car with a 2143cc diesel engine. 129 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. It sits in the bottom 88% of 2018 cars for MOT pass rates.
With an average of 20,256 miles at 6 years old, HYMER ML 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.
2018 HYMER ML Fuel Costs
The 2143cc 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.
