Car and travel costs

[Tulip]

Happy new year everyone.
I have decided I am not going to go down the 0.45p per mile route for my car. It is a good few years old now and has cost quite a bit in repairs recently. Also although I use it just about every day the journeys are shortish.
I want to check I am doing the costs right. I have decided not to claim the car depreciation part as we have had it ages. So am I ok to claim for
M.O.T, service and parts
car insurance
road tax
repairs
breakdown cover
I understand I can only claim for the percentage of time the car is used for childminding purposes which I will put in at 75% and have to stick to the same method and not revert to the 0.45p method. I have not put car costs through before.
Have I forgotten anything?
Thanks x

I 'think' so! BUT, I think you can only go down the percentage route IF you have done that from the start of owning that car/using it for childminding. hopefully someone else can help you more!
