My C Max is 14 years old, cost £4k to me to buy. I've spent probably £500 on it. If it does pop any time within the next 18 months, it will have cost me more per month than that lease deal. Such is the unpredictability of (some) older cars. It could go on for another 10, I just don't know.

Did you buy new? It seems mad to me that the costs stack like that. But I’m clearly looking at this from the complete budget end. Neither me or my partner has ever spent more than £3k on a car.

No, I only bought it last November. So far the alternator went, but thankfully within warranty. I've had a full service and also had to get a coolant leak repaired (which is still leaking, I need to go back and bollock the garage). Recently got all four wheels balanced and aligned.
