What sort of mileage are you looking at per year?

Given this, the mileage would probably be around 10608 a year?

Er - more like 20,000.

I make it 16,800/year (35 miles each way, 5 days a week for 48
weeks). A decent diesel ought to manage 50mpg+, 336 gallons, 1528l,
£45/week fuel (ish) will rise!

Really well done on getting the apprenticeship by the way - great
achievement. Don't mean to put you off.

Agreed, OP does appear to be a sensible lad. I just hope the
economics don't scupper him, £100/week+ just to get to and from his
apprenticeship. The minimum wage apprentice rate is £2.60/hr or
£96.20 (before tax/NI)for a 37hr week. B-(
