Lowest maintenance cost
Parts and labour for every 1,000 km recorded. Lower is better.
No model has enough data for this measure yet.
CarTrackr rankings
The cars that cost least to keep

Cheapest to maintain
No model has enough distance recorded yet to work out a maintenance cost.
Model rankings
A model joins the ranking once at least 3 different owners record one.
Every brand
Each brand averaged over all its cars. Sort by any column, and open a brand to see its models.

— not enough data for that figure.
Figures from real records
Every figure combines several owners' cars and is published only when none of them can be identified.
How we work it outHow we work it out
A ranking built from records is only worth reading if its limits are as clear as its winners.
Anonymous by design
A brand or model is published only once at least 3 different accounts own one, and each figure only once that many owners contributed to it. Number plates, dates and individual records are never published.
Per kilometre, not per car
Costs are divided by the distance recorded, so a car with three years of history does not look dearer than one with three months. Cars with under 1,000 km recorded are left out of the cost figures.
Consumption between full tanks
Wherever the owner marks full tanks, consumption is measured between them. Averages outside 2 to 30 L/100 km are treated as entry errors and left out.
What these figures do not say
Diesel and petrol versions of the same model count together: CarTrackr does not record the engine, and the fuel type is optional. Electric cars are left out of consumption. Cost per km covers fuel and maintenance only, without road tax or insurance.
