How routing works
- Brand only opens the brand page
- Brand plus model opens the model page
- Brand plus model plus generation opens the generation page
- Choosing a variant opens the full calculator page for that exact car
Automotive / Main Tool
Car Ownership Cost
Select a UK driver profile and vehicle. The tool will route you to the deepest page available so you can compare brand, model, generation, or exact variant ownership cost estimates.
Driver and vehicle selection
Choose a driver profile first, then narrow from brand to model, generation, and variant.
Current starter dataset
This version uses a growing UK vehicle dataset so the browse pages, routing, and exact variant estimates can scale as more cars and approved submissions are added.
Submit missing data
If the exact car is already listed, submit updated MPG and insurance figures. If it is missing entirely, send a vehicle request instead.

- This tool helps you navigate to the most useful page for the vehicle you selected, from broad brand pages to exact variant estimates
- The deepest variant page is the most specific because it uses one stored fuel type, MPG profile, tax band/range, and insurance data record
- The figures are designed for planning and comparison, not as quotes or guarantees
What affects ownership cost most
- Annual miles and driving style usually have the largest effect on yearly fuel spend
- No claims bonus years can materially affect the insurance estimate for the same variant
- Two variants in the same generation can still have different fuel economy, tax bands/ranges, and insurance assumptions
