Those of you with a 3.5t lorry, running costs?

[Orv]

How much does your 3.5t lorry cost on average per year? (repair work aside) so insurance, road side recovery, tax etc

I'm trying to work out if I'm better off hiring a lorry once a month or buying my own

 

[L&M]

I have a 3.5t Renault Master and it costs £210 to insure, which also covers roadside recovery, £55 for mot, and my last service was £70, but only needed a few minor things done. Road tax is around £180 but can't remember exact figure, and costs £55 to fill up with diesel.
Hope that helps!

£350 to insure,
£55 for mot
Road tax had just gone up to £215 when i had to retax it.
To fill it up... i normally stop at about £50 - £60 - i dont actually know how much it would cost to totally fill up but it seems to go quite far.

It's a R reg transit, 2.5 diesel

my old one (G reg) - was a 2l petrol, was about the same running cost i think from memory.
