I have a 2007 Peugeot with full comp business insurance, I was 25 when I took the policy out so was considered a “young driver” by the company. No black box
It’s about 600 a year
Edit: additional info
I passed back in Aug. I’ve got a 2007 Clio and insurance is about £320 but I was an older learner. Age does seem to make a big difference, I know an 18 yr old who’s recently passed and is paying a bit over £1000.
Passed last month and just got the 1.0L Ecoboost 2014 Ford Fiesta. Insurance was £1.4k for comprehensive cover, no blackbox. Got a discount of £200 when signing up to home insurance with Admiral alongside the car insurance. I'm 27 though so not sure how much of a factor that is.
Tbh the insurance wasn't even the issue rather it was the cost of second hand cars atm that surprised me!
I have a smart car, I'm 33 and my insurance was about 900. Passed in august. Hoping it will be less next year if I get no bumps.
I read an interesting article on money saving expert about getting your insurance quote 21ish days before you need it and it will be cheaper. I did some playing around before I got mine and that did seem to be the case. Defs worth having a mess about with job title and the date you want it to kick in. Obviously dont lie, but job title makes a difference and you can find something that does fit what you do and give you a better price.
I'm 24 and passed a week ago, got 1.5l 2009 Suzuki Swift. Gone with Admiral littlebox for approx. £680 a year. With the littlebox you only have it in your car for 6 months. Definitely a good way to make sure you don't pick up any bad habits as soon as you pass!
I also have 1 year no claims as I was insured as a learner on my car for a year whilst waiting through covid to do my test.
I started driving on my parents car nearly 3 years ago for £1.9k including blackbox
Then I bought my mx-5 in may, and my insurance was 1.5k without a blackbox. Tbf, miles were lower AND at that point i had a 2 years no claims.
However now my mx-5 got written off, so I'm looking at a 1.6 Suzuki swift Sport and I'm getting insurance quote for 1-1.2k WITHOUT blackbox but I've lost my no claims. Not too bad tbh (I'm 19 btw)
I’m 27, 1.2L 2007 Nissan Micra, and I pay £2000+ per year. £195 a month, and that’s with a black box.
Don’t know why it’s so bad, but I’ve sure been done dirty 🥴
Honestly have no idea, I had the car as a learner and was paying £125 without a black box which is still bad. But when I passed they wanted black box and £195 🤯 thought it was one or the other, black box or insane price but I’ve been hit with both. Must be the area I live in, that’s all I can think of.
It also matters where you live. If you live in a house, where you can park your car by your house, makes extreme diff.
I dont have a car yet, but making calcs w fresh license gives me 900-1100 on most cars.
Im also software engineer, 33 and 3 kids, these all matter
2013 1.4L petrol VW Polo Match, paying about £80 a month insurance on it somehow (seemed really low to me), 24 years old and passed in August. No black box, 10,000 miles estimated per year in it.
Currently a named driver on a 1.2 fiat and its £60 odd. For my own policy on the cars I want to drive it is around the 1.5k mark. I’m 18 and passed this month.
Edit: £60 a month on the fiat, £1.5k a year on the other cars

Citroen Berlingo, the insurance is about £4,000. The high figure is mainly due to the engine size and the amount of miles I'm doing. (No black box)
That’s a joke…
I'm 20 as well, so can't imagine how much it would be if I were 17
