Annual running cost?

TITEASCRAMP

Has anyone actually ever worked this out?
I was curious as to how much per annum I was spending on my car.
I did the figures with and without fuel
£28 per week without fuel
£38 per week with fuel
This includes Mot, Services, Road Tax, Insurance, Maint, Depreciation


I was wondering does this seem average or high or low?

i tried to work this out -

My car gets cheaper the more i use it when you take into account the cost of the mot (not including repairs), tax insurance etc

Of course the more you use it the greater amounts of wear and tear etc

Strangley i save 28 a week into a seperate account for my car, this covers everything apart from fuel.

At the end of the year i often have a load left in this account if its been a good year motoring cost wise, so i put it towards a new car or something else

If you own a car like mine (2000 406 diesel) i dont bother calculating depriciation costs as its such a cheap car to buy its not worth worrying about, the difference between a nice example and a one with 280k on the clock is not that great

Thats strange. The car Im on about is a 2000 306 Diesel
At the moment that £28 is what this car has cost this last year

but in a typical 12 month period what are you combined MOT, service,insurance, tyre, tax, bulbs etc etc costs

I do mega miles so my costs will be higher!

My figures are for 12months. Bear in mind to that mine is only 3.5k mileage per year

Well mine is about £14 a week without petrol, and £30 a week with petrol, and I drive a Ford KA.

Maintenance is pretty cheap, road tax is low, and I have 5 years NCB for insurance, hence the £14 a week ownership cost!

i dont think i was clear, in a year you must spend more than £28 on Insurance a service, mot, repairs, tax etc

Around £15 per week for me, this includes insurance, tax, half a set of tyres, service kit ans about £200 for repairs.

Have not included MOT as i get them free, i work for a garage so get cheap parts and repairs oh and tyres.

Oh and i drive a Mondeo.
