Getting Started
To view van running costs just:
- Choose how long you expect to keep the van
- Select your typical annual mileage
- Select the fuel type you want to examine
- Choose the manufacturer, then model range and derivative you want to see
We'll then display data on the van's price, forecast depreciation costs, servicing and maintenance costs, plus fuel costs too.
If we don't have data on your selected van then no results will appear - you can try a similar van from the model derivatives to see if data is available.

Prices
We'll display the manufacturer's published:
- List Price
- Delivery Charges (if any)
- The initial tax disc ('vehicle excise duty') for the van
- The statutory first registration fee
- The total 'On-The-Road-Price' of the van
- The second year tax disc ('vehicle excise duty')
- The fuel type of the van
Depreciation
We'll display the forecast total depreciation cost of the van from the manufacturer's List Price over the period you expect to keep the van and your mileage including:
- List Price
- Forecast residual value or 'resale' price of the van
- Forecast depreciation cost from List Price over the term/total mileage
- The residual value's percentage of the List Price after your term and total mileage
Servicing, Maintenance, Repairs & Fuel Costs
We'll display the forecast costs of maintaining the van over your selected term/total mileage. These are typically known as 'SMR' (or 'servicing, maintenance and mechanical repair') costs including:
Changing the Costs
You can change some of the running costs of the van to reflect costs that you incur.
Once the forecast running costs have appeared for depreciation, servicing, maintenance and fuel, scroll down to the 'Your Running Costs' section (or click on the 'Your Running Costs' button).
You will see the 'Edit Details' box. This box allows you to change:
- The purchase price of the van.
- The fuel cost for the van.
Simply type the new amount you want to use into the appropriate 'Edit Details' box and the depreciation or fuel costs will be recalculated for you.
Please ensure you type numeric values into the boxes - non-numeric values won't be accepted.
For fuel costs, these will be tailored to the type of fuel for the van.
For electric vans you can change the electricity costs that you pay (in pence per kiloWatt Hour) and the range of the van.
For vans with an internal combustion engine (including hybrids) you can change the cost of fuel per litre that you pay and the fuel consumption (or miles per gallon - M.P.G.) of the van.
