U.K.-based Warrantywise, a used car warranty provider, has used their quantifiable data to name the most and least reliable cars based on warranty claims and the highest cost of repair.
Only including cars that are less than ten years old, outside of the manufacturer’s warranty, and discounting models with less than 100 plans to ensure a fair sample size, it comes as no surprise that the Honda Jazz is the most reliable car with an overall score of 93.7 out of 100.
The rest of the Top 10 is a mixture of models including the Mazda2 coming in second and the Toyota Auris (Corolla) claiming third. The Mazda MX-5 places fourth, the Toyota Aygo fifth, the Kia Ceed and Rio sixth and seventh respectively, the Suzuki Alto is eighth, the Hyundai i20 ninth, and the Peugeot 107 comes in tenth.
Meanwhile, it came to unreliable cars, the Range Rover topped the list due to the sheer frequency and cost of repairs. The last-generation model, in particular, scored just 20.2 out of 100.
The rest of the Bottom 10 are the BMW M5, which places tenth least reliable, the Mazda CX-5 is ninth, the Bentley Continental GT is eighth, the Audi Q7 places seventh, the Porsche Cayenne is sixth, the BMW X6 comes in fifth, the Porsche Panamera is fourth, and the BMW M3 places second.
