What this van costs to run
The road tax and the MOT test fee follow the government's rules for a van. Fuel, insurance and servicing are not estimated, because every figure we model for those is a car's. Ranges, not quotes — every figure here is an estimate.
- Vehicle tax (VED)A van registered before 1 March 2001 is taxed on engine size, like a car of that age: £230 a year up to 1549cc, £375 above it. Built before 1 January 1986, it can move into the historic vehicle tax class and pay £0 from 1 April 2026 once the keeper applies to DVLA — but not if it is used commercially for a trade or business. The weight (up to 3,500kg) and the tax class are on the V5C, not on the listing — check the registration at gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax
- £0–£230
- FuelWe do not estimate fuel for a van: our real-world economy data is for cars, so fuel is left out rather than guessed
- Not estimated
- InsuranceWe do not estimate insurance for a van: the only average we hold is for car insurance, so get a quote

- ServicingWe do not estimate servicing for a van: our servicing figures are for cars — ask the dealer what the last service cost
- Ask the dealer
- MOT testFirst registered more than 40 years ago, so it does not need an MOT unless it has been substantially changed in the last 30 years (GOV.UK). Owners can still choose to test it
- Not required
- Total of the figures aboveRoad tax across its range only: no MOT test is needed. Leaves out fuel, insurance and servicing, which we could not estimate for this van, so the real yearly cost is higher
- £0–£230
