UK car cost & mileage tracker

Every pound your car costs.
All in one place.

Every fuel-up, service, renewal and lease mile in one running total — so a bill never surprises you.

A car costs you money in a dozen quiet ways. MileMind pulls all of it into one clear picture.

Fuel here, a service there, insurance you forgot renews next week, mileage creeping toward your lease limit. Log any of it in seconds — MileMind rolls the lot into one monthly figure so you always know where you stand.

Who it’s for

Built for the way people actually run cars.

Most car apps assume you own one car and never claim a mile. MileMind is built for the messier reality.

On a lease

You have a mileage allowance and a hand-back date, and no real idea whether you’re on track. MileMind does the pace maths daily and shows the likely excess bill months in advance.

Driving for work

You claim business miles and currently reconstruct them from memory. Tag a journey as business and MileMind applies HMRC’s 55p and 25p rates, then exports a tidy tax-year PDF.

More than one car

Two cars, a partner’s car, a small fleet — one bought, one leased. The Garage keeps them side by side without pretending they cost the same way.

The car

The biggest cost, watched properly.

Bought outright, on finance or leased — the car itself is the biggest line in the budget, and MileMind tracks the payments whichever way you got it. Leasing? It also does the mileage maths every day: your pace, your projected total, and what any overage would cost at hand-back — long before the keys go back.

How it works

Set up once. Log as you go.

1

Add your car

Tell MileMind how you got it — bought, financed or leased — and it sets up the right tracking. Leasing? Add your mileage limit, term and excess rate.

2

Log as you go

Drop in an odometer reading, a fuel-up, a cost or a trip whenever it happens. The quick-add buttons on Home make it a few taps.

3

See where you stand

Home shows your running costs at a glance. Leasing? You'll also see if you're on track, how far ahead or behind, and what any overage might cost.

Does it work for leased cars?+
