My van is 5 years old and it's got  just over 16000 miles on the clock so around 3200 per year....

I usually do double that in my car per year....

Same about 8k a year its a lot less than years ago when I used to have to go back round and collect.
Plus after years of refining my work I don't have to travel as far out each day.
The work I do is all within about a fifteen minute drive anything further out gets done by my subcontractor  ;D

Most of my work is within 15-20 min drive from home and I do less than half your annual mileage...does yours include private use too?

My van will be ten years old in early March. I have had it since new and it has just turned over 60,000 miles. I reckon it will be about 61k at ten years.

I have used it for a couple of long journeys canoeing in Scotland and one to the lakes. I also use it twice a year and drive to wash my caravan. So I reckon 90% for work.

450 a month for work.

Most of our work is within a 8 mile radius so probably around 3,000 per van.
