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)£360 a year — the light goods vehicle rate for a van registered from 1 March 2001 and not over 3,500kg. 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

£360

FuelWe do not estimate fuel for a van: our real-world economy data is for cars, so fuel is left out rather than guessed

MOT testUp to £54.85 for a van up to 3,000kg design gross weight and up to £58.60 from 3,000kg to 3,500kg in Great Britain — the DVSA caps, and many garages charge less. The weight is not on the listing, so the higher cap is shown. The first test is on the third anniversary of registration. DVSA: 27.51% of car and light-van MOTs in Great Britain failed their initial test in 2025/26, and repairs are extra

up to £58.60

Total of the figures aboveRoad tax plus the most the MOT test can cost. Leaves out fuel, insurance and servicing, which we could not estimate for this van, so the real yearly cost is higher

up to £418.60
