The AA running cost calculations are based on cars at 3 to 5 years of age where depreciation is a significant cost. A 15 year old car has already depreciated significantly, so the true running cost will be less than our calculation.
However, to give you some indication, the AA running cost rate for a 1.3 to 1.5 litre vehicle would be 54c per km.
