Mot, road tax, servicing, insurance, breakdown cover?

It's a VW Passat estate 1.8T so drinks petrol, about £80 a month and I only do about 500 miles a month.

I added up the cost of MOT, servicing, Tax, breakdown and insurance and added a couple of hundred on for repairs and ended up with about £1500 a year. I put away £130 a month in the car account.

My insurance never goes down, I've got 10yr no claims, no points and still pay £360 on a low mileage, sensible car .

We'd be stuffed without it though so it's worth sucking up the cost. I don't use it that much though so probably only spend £60 a month on petrol. It gives us days out, errands outside of town, holidays and we can visit family.

I can't afford a new one (I won't want to get in debt for it) so I'm looking after this one for the time being.

Tax - £400 (ish)
Mot - £45
Insurance £400 (ish)
AA - £180 (but they do pay the 1st £500 of garage bills if can't be fixed x 6 per year)
Tyres - budget £75 each, proper jobs £130 each
Service - £ 300

wmittens it was a deal we got years ago when we bought previous car and it was then part of the part exchange deal when we got this one. free mot for as long as you own the car

We spend about £1200 per year but that includes putting money aside in case something big goes wrong and doesn't include breakdown cover because that comes with our bank account.
We drive an 08 plate Ford S-Max.

Tax: £280
Insurance: £700
MOT:£50
RAC £100 ish
Repairs £100/150

My own little cosy space= priceless...

fakebook - the insurance group that you are paying 890 quid for? which insurance band are you?

I put aside £400 a month to run 2 cars and have enough in the pot now to pay for a major engine rebuild at any given moment. I don't bother paying out for useless warranties that won't pay out when push comes to shove.

Oh, I'm so jealous of everyones cheap/ish insurance.
Tax - £240
MOT - £45
Insurance - £1200
On street parking permit- £156
New tyres (every 2 years) - £320
New winter tyres (every 3 years) - £400

We used to pay CC annually too which was about £200 but not anymore (moved out of CC zone).

Im really fed up with insurance going up all the time. We drive 11 years old VW passat estate, I have never had an accident in my life, 15+ years of no claim bonus....still got me nowhere when it comes to cheap car insurance :(

Tax 130
Mot free
Insurance 600
Service 140
Tyres 120
Cost for tyres and service is split as it only needs doing every 2 years
It shocks me that it's still nearly a thousand pounds a year and that's not even including the 200 pm I pay on finance and the money i spend on petrol.

Wow If I didn't need my car to get ds I would seriously consider trading it in. Iv just worked out it nearly 5000 a year compared to about 800 for a bus pass

550 Insurance
120 Tax
50 Winter tyres on
50 Winter tyres off
40 MOT
99 Service

We put 125 aside every month - this seems to work out for extra stuff every few years (In 2013 we need a new battery and 2 new tyres).

Service - 200 (not MOT age yet)
Consumables - 60 so far
Insurance - ~1k business class 1, nice car parked on road in shit area
Parking - 112 p/a
I spend about 30 a month getting the thing cleaned too.

Tax £280
Insurance inc breakdown cover £183
MOT £60
Repairs: £180 for new brake pads is the only bill in the 5 years I've had the car, so £36 pa
Tyres: average £50 pa (I'm just about to buy 2 new ones, and it had 2 new ones 4 years ago)
I've bought a gallon of oil for it in that time too, but can't remember how much that was.

It's a 2001 Audi A4TS (petrol).

We have stupidly expensive AA cover which is about £200 but DH would have to call them to change it because of data protection so we're stuck with it until he gets off his bottom and does it.

Car insurance for my car is just over £200 a year. Just over £400 a year on our other car (even though it's older).

Tax is zero on one car and about £160 on the other car.

Servicing varies but is usually somewhere around £300 and includes the MOT.

Tax 260

Mot dh does so free.
And all servicing is just the parts so less than 100.
And repairs it's just part as dh does the work.

In repairs in 4 years it's been £60.. Touch wood I've been lucky.

And insurance is 200 a year.

His is 0 insurance as his works insure his.
0.mot as he does it or his colleague
0 servicing his Company pay his parts etc
Tax 260 a year.

1 year old car:

Tax £0
Insurance £175

MOT isn't needed for another 2 years, not sure how much the service is.
