can anyone give me the average cost per mile to run a Toyota Hilux?

Consider all the factors;

Finance (if applicable)
Depreciation
Scheduled servicing and maintenance
Non scheduled repair
Tyre wear
Insurance
Fuel

Depending on age and mileage I'd say £1 a mile is not far out. Could well be more!

32p per mile. 135000 miles
Purchase cost inc canopy £15000
Value today 5000
So 10000 depreciation
Approx 22000 fuel
2500 tax
5000 insurance
Tyres servicing repairs mot tests 3000

Mine costs about 2000 a year including insurance for around 8000 miles. Have to add initial cost which would be around another thousand of dep per year

My pickup isn’t very good on fuel either. Saying that since the beginning of August when I got it it’s only done 500 miles so I don’t worry about it.

8,000 miles lease: 36+3 months @ £270 = £10,400
Insurance for 3 yrs say £800/yr = £2400
Fuel? 24,000 miles @ 30(?)mpg = 800 gal, or £4,700 (£1.30/l)
Maintenance, repairs ? £1500 ?
That's £19,000 for 24,000 miles and not all the costs noted.
fuel too low
repairs too high
insuranace toooo high
