Now that I've traded in my Panda Cross I have been able to estimate the cost of running this car over 4 years, 3 months and 41,000 miles. I haven't kept comprehensive records but have costed fuel at today's price and assumed 45 mpg. Maintenance and repairs are a good estimate as I can recall most of the bills. There have been no finance costs and I don't know how to calculate loss of interest on capital tied up in the car. In addition insurance is not costed in because that is the usual practice used in the motoring press in calculating pence per mile.
Anyhow, my figure comes out at
27.5 pence per mile.
Cheap 4x4 motoring in my opinion.
