I have found that for my and my wife's cars, adding business use to both
made almost no difference to the premiums, while adding it to my kit
car, for the occasional sunny day commute, cost nothing at all.

It will depend on how much you use them.

There are fixed service costs every 12 months/12000 miles, or something
like that.

If you can get the two to match you'll be minimising those costs.

Don't forget the cost of tyres, and most of all depreciation.

work van into walls, they have in fact appreciated.

Last used mine on 16th April.

No idea when I will next use it.

Probably worth about £2K. Might as well run it into the ground. It's not
done bad for repairs. It was only £60 for two new back springs.
