Running cost is ADAC's figure for fuel, workshop, tax and insurance. Depreciation is left out unless you tick the box. ADAC's depreciation is the expected loss of value over five years: for models on sale it is new-car depreciation, for older models it starts from today's lower value. Workshop costs are for a new car, so older cars will cost more in the workshop than shown.
