What this car costs to run

Modelled over 7,100 miles a year (DfT National Travel Survey, England). Ranges, not quotes — every figure here is an estimate.

Vehicle tax (VED)Depends on the car's CO2 figure and the original registration date shown on the V5C, which are not on the advert, so no figure is given: ask the seller, or use the car tax calculator

FuelAbout 30 mpg — the middle real-world figure for the 2 similar-sized petrol engines in Autoza's economy data, not this car's own figure — at 174.1p a litre

£1,600–£2,200

Insurance (UK average)The UK average premium actually paid for comprehensive cover, £566 in Q2 2026 (ABI) — an average across every driver, postcode and car, not a quote for this one. Yours turns on your age, postcode and record and on the car’s insurance group. A 17–20-year-old new driver typically pays more than this average: see our guide to the cheapest cars to insure as a new driver, or the ABI figures

£566

ServicingFrom a minor service (£270–£430) to a major one (£520–£900) on a Volvo, from Autoza's own servicing estimates by make, not survey data. Routine servicing only — excludes repairs and tyres

£250–£900

MOT testBuilt in 2007, so over 3 years old: it needs an MOT every year (GOV.UK). £54.85 maximum in Great Britain — the DVSA cap, and many garages charge less. DVSA: 27.51% of car and light-van MOTs in Great Britain failed their initial test in 2025/26, and repairs are extra. Its MOT history is free on GOV.UK

up to £54.85

Total of the figures aboveLeaves out road tax, which we could not estimate for this car, so the real yearly cost is higher

£2,450–£3,750
