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)Registered 1986, right on the 40-year line for the historic (tax-exempt) class, which depends on the date it was built — ask the dealer
- Ask the dealer
- FuelThe listing does not say which fuel it uses, 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
- ServicingFrom a minor service (£300–£500) to a major one (£600–£1,100) on a Mercedes, from Autoza's own servicing estimates by make, not survey data. Routine servicing only — excludes repairs and tyres
- £300–£1,100
- MOT test£54.85 maximum in Great Britain — the DVSA cap, and many garages charge less — with the first test 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 £54.85
- Total of the figures aboveLeaves out road tax and fuel, which we could not estimate for this car, so the real yearly cost is higher
- £900–£1,750
