    2,500 miles per year is very low for a company car. I personally think if a business is looking to cut back on uneccessary expense, a company car generating such a low mileage would be the first to go. To me it is sounding like good business sense.

    Surely it is better to lose the car than to lose your job or for someone else to lose their job because of an expensive company car?

    I appreciate that you are relying on the car for travel to and from work but from a business point of view it is something that can no longer be afforded.

    Yeah, I absolutely understand this point, but ultimately for be to lose this is an increase in my costs and is really equivalent to a reduction in salary. I'm already a very low earner (£16k).

    So do we think then I basically just have to accept this?
