2021 AC Ace NEW 3500

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)£200 standard rate. If this car's list price when new (options included) was over £40,000, it pays £640 a year until it is six years old — the list price is not on the listing, so ask the dealer

£200

FuelOur real-world economy data does not yet cover a 4.6-litre petrol engine, so fuel is left out rather than guessed

Not estimated

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

ServicingWe hold no servicing data for AC, so we do not estimate it — ask the dealer what the last service cost

Ask the dealer
