Couple of other things though....

1) have you bought it outright? If finances in some way, the answer could be different.

2) if you take the full capital allowance in year 1 then sell the car in the future, I think you’d have a tax charge on the disposal.

I’d say worth consulting with an accountant to check you wouldn’t be better off claiming mileage etc
