The biggest component to Running Costs is the depreciation, so it depends to large extent on the age of the vehicle and the annual mileage you cover. A newer car depreciates greater, so will have a higher running cost.
The AA calculates Running Costs annually, breaking them down into engine capacities etc, and based on a vehicle at the third year of age. As an AA Member, you can get the full schedule by logging into MY AA.
Depending on the reason you are requiring the information, you may wish to use the IRD's rate, which is .74c per km. On an older vehicle, this is much greater than our calculations would suggest as being the actual running cost..
