Per-year breakdown below (scheduled visits, oil & filter, tyres and brakes — the last three wear by distance driven, not just calendar time).

Per year

Scheduled service$225

Oil & filter$120

Insurance$1,112

Insurance cover:

Scaled from the NZ average comprehensive premium ($1,311/year) against this listing's $18,000 price.

Unscheduled repairs$585

What breaks between services — an estimate by vehicle age (78 years old) and a brand-tier multiplier (budget-reliable/mainstream/premium/exotic) for Ford. Averaged across good years and bad — most years cost less than this, and an occasional big-ticket failure costs a lot more. This listing's 120,000km is well below the ~936,000km expected for its age, so the estimate is scaled down 10%.

Total annual running cost$7,086
