Choose Your Car

To choose a car for your maintenance cost analysis just select a manufacturer, range and model from the list boxes.

To switch from cars to vans click on the menu icon and select 'Swap to Vans'.

Operating Cycle

Once the vehicle is selected we'll ask you about the operating cycle for the vehicle.

This is the period you expect to keep the vehicle and the total mileage it will travel over that period. You can select up to 5 years (60 months) and up to 150,000 total miles.

Maintenance Forecast

Once you have selected the operating cycle we'll forecast the typical servicing and maintenance costs for the vehicle. You'll see an breakdown of forecast costs for:

• Scheduled servicing according to the manufacturer's service specification for the vehicle
• Non-scheduled maintenance of the vehicle outside the manufacturer's normal requirements and warranty cover
• Tyre replacement costs and schedules
• Brake pad/shoe/disc/drum replacement costs and schedules
• MOT test costs (excluding repairs required to pass the MOT - these are already in the forecast non-scheduled maintenance) - note that VAT is not charged currently on MOT tests
• Timing belt replacement (for vehicles kept beyond the typical life of a consumable type rubber/composite belt)
• A monthly maintenance contract for the vehicle at the selected operating cycle

You can also add any monthly adminstration costs for running your vehicles or charges from a fleet administration company for doing this for you.

You can change any of the forecast costs just by typing new values into the appropriate boxes.

What If Data Is Missing?

We calculate maintenance costs from over 1.2 million items in the database, but unfortunately from time-to-time some data isn't available.

However, you can always type in your own values if you need to fill in anything that's missing and, of course, do let us know - we'll do our best to fill in the gaps.

Sorry!

Not Enough Vehicle Data

Unfortunately there's not enough vehicle maintenance data to analyse this vehicle. This could be because the vehicle is new or some information is missing from our database.

You can fill in the missing data yourself - just type in the required information then click on the 'View Analysis » button to continue.
