Assumptions

Depreciation is estimated from car age, mileage, and car type, with newer and lower mileage cars typically losing value faster.

Mileage is projected over the selected ownership period, so higher annual mileage will increase both running costs and depreciation.

Fuel costs are based on your entered efficiency and fuel price, and scale with your annual mileage.

Maintenance includes servicing, tyres, and a repair buffer, and is assumed to remain consistent each year.

All values are estimates and do not account for unexpected repairs, market changes, or resale timing.
