Work Vehicle

Posts: 12 Forumite

Hi there, I am a self employed support worker and I use a vehicle solely for work purpose. We use my wife's car when I'm not at work.
My work car has failed its MOT badly and isn't cost effective to repair. I wondered if I was to get a new car on finance how much I could claim back?
I haven't got a car in mind yet but for example probably something like a £15k car. (I would likely need to pay monthly for it too, hopefully around £250 a month)
Would I be able to claim the full cost of the vehicle as well as future business miles? Or would it be the monthly cost of the vehicle I could claim?
I understand that you can't claim both miles and upkeep/repairs.
Many thanks 😊
