2012 210.000 miles Well got my accounts back today my E7 has cost me £6200 in repairs and maintenance from April 2015 to 2016. Perhaps a TX4 at 23 mpg can now be justified

It did cover 60.000 this year
with the finance and the repairs it works out at over £1000 per month just to run an E7
That's NOT including licence fee's Diesel or insurance

It'd be on a low loader as a PX on the way for a LTI.

How many miles have you put on your 62plate
This hasn't put me off completely. At the end of the day the cab is perfect in design for the work I do just wish it didn't cost me so much last year in repairs
I have been looking at TX4 but have decided it isn't right for the work I do losing 2 seats and luggage space
Just want work hopefully the new E7 Traveler will be better

How much did you spend on fuel for your 60,000 miles and how much was the insurance and road tax?
