Whole Life Costs - November 2017

Whole Life Costs - November 2017 Introduction Cost of ownership is a key factor when purchasing a new van. Front end price is important, but how much will you get back in retained value, how much will it cost to service and repair, how economical is it? Vehicle depreciation, servicing and repair (including parts and tyres) and fuel gives the true picture of Affordability. The following pages demonstrate Mercedes-Benz leadership in low cost of ownership. Don t forget this leadership is in addition to the product advantages in other areas: Free MobiloVan UK cover for up to 30 years 3-year unlimited mileage vehicle warranty 12-year anti-corrosion warranty The safest vans in the world Premium van build quality and reliability Specialist van dealership network How the Whole Life are calculated The tables on the next pages detail the associated with ownership of the Citan, Vito and Sprinter, and their competition. The sources of this information are: An independent monitor for forecast retained values after 3 years operation. For Service, Maintenance and Repair we are using an independent survey which is updated monthly and covers all van models produced by every manufacturer. Included in the analysis are regular servicing and replacement of tyres, brake pads and discs, batteries, exhaust and clutches according to mileages 45,000 miles for the Citan sector, 60,000 miles for the Vito sector and 90,000 miles for the Sprinter sector For the fuel we use the published claimed combined fuel consumption figures for each van and, this month, a diesel price of 101 pence per litre excluding VAT, a 2p increase since last month.

CITAN sector Whole Life Costs/mile - November 2017 (detail on next chart) Increased cost of diesel and weaker retained values has resulted in a 2% increase in whole life compared to last month.. Citan 109CDI Compact and Long top the table with the lowest in the small van sector. Citan retained values have held better than the other brands. The whole life for the Citan models listed average 34 pence per mile, an advantage over the Ford and VW averages of 36 and 37 pence per mile respectively. The strongest retained values reduce whole life for the Ford Transit Connect and VW Caddy. Citan models continue to score well with strong retained values, and low fuel and SMR. The Citan 109CDI models look particularly good value.

SPRINTER Sector Whole Life Pence/mile - November 2017 (detail on next chart) In the large van sector there is a small increase in whole life since last month resulting from a small decline in retained values and a 2p increase in diesel. The new front wheel drive Crafter continues to lead the table with pricing lower than the previous rear wheel range, an assumption of very good retained values on an untested new range and claimed mpg figures 12% better than the replaced range. As yet the new VW range is restricted to front wheel drive models (except the CR50 which is RWD). Sprinter, the well established benchmark in the large van sector, continues with proven low cost of ownership.
