MOT Passed A1 ok .... annual miles only 190
 

Well .... an MOT pass with no advisories :tr-smile:


But only 150 miles aince last year. Well since last October.

I'm not using it, and the cost per mile ...

Coupled with my health ....

I am of course cogitating.

You are not alone ...
 

Good morning, Stephen,

So far this calendar year, 2021, my V70 has completed 400 miles and my (whisper it) Saab convertible 392 miles. Although she doesn't keep such detailed records, Linda will have done a similar number in her Saab 9000. In the last full FY, (01.04.20 - 31.03.21) my V70 did 418 and my Saab 341.

In the last full calendar year (2020), my Volvo covered 713 miles and my operating costs (excluding depreciation) were £748.47, which equates to a cost per mile of £1.0497. Of that, £150 (20.04%) was for petrol.

Corresponding figures for the Saab (which is in the highest tax bracket) were 614 and £1069.48 - a cost per mile of £1.7418. Once again, £150 (14.03%) was for petrol.

If we aggregate the above figures, my motoring costs for the year were £1817.95 over 1327 miles, or £1.3700 per mile travelled.

Sometimes I wish that I did not keep quite such detailed records - it is not good for my blood pressure!

I hope that you are well.

Regards, John.

Thank you John.

One thing we are cogitating is whether a car is the best thing for our purposes.

Like many people my health has issues and we are just now hopefully getting out of a scare ...

Anyways. We got the MOT done early to give us time to think. One clear decision is ... if we sell we want a buyer who wamts it as a car.

I hope you are well John.

It looks as if I might well be ok to drive. Time will tell.

If I need to sell, I have a potential buyer who would definitely want it as a car, if they were to buy.

It is a car, not the "family silver. But.

I don't want to sell. I do not want to sell. not yet. not yet.
