But German cars are among the worst for breakdowns, with Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Volkswagen all failing to make the top 10 in the list of the 23 most reliable car manufacturers in the UK, compiled by a firm that sells warranties.

 

The ratings are calculated as the cost of repair and frequency of breakdown against the number of policies held by Warranty Direct. The lower the score, the higher up the index the manufacturer will be.

 

Ford was second in the table. its average repair bill was the lowest at

Shame to see Rover So Low down Jim, as I live almost next door to the MG ROVER Longbridge Factory In Birmingham.Its Sad but they aint ever gonna be back in with a chance until megabucks are invested in new models, even then I aint sure if they can pull off the recovery.

I was not a big fan of the BMW involvement with Rover either, should have gone to Honda who got quality of finish to the forefront at Rover...

 

Still whats done is done...

 

Interesting to see BMW only one place above ROVER !

Looks like some of my earlier replies regarding Leyland/Rover got censored.....

 

I wonder how much vehicle reliability is affected by the owner/driver performing basic checks eg of oil level?

I know of far too many company car drivers who never open the bonnet, so if their oil level falls too far, they blow the engine. You should see some of the statistics from some of the big fleet leasing companies. It's got so bad that some of them (most of them?) now include specific clauses in their leasing deals that if failure occurs because of driver failing to perform such checks, then the person/company running the car is liable for full cost of repairs.

Ford Celebrates 26 Consecutive Years At The Top

Of The British New Car Sales Chart

Ford was Britain's best-selling nameplate for new cars for the 26th consecutive year in 2002.

Sales performance highlights for Ford last year included:

 

The Ford Focus was Britain's best-selling new car in 2002 for the fourth successive year with sales of 151,209

Best seller does not mean that the car is any good - distorted by fleet sales.

For example, Peugeot 206 is reputed to be the top selling car bought with "private purchase" money (not that this means it's any good either!).

Nor does this include 'pre-registering' vehicles, thus bumping up your sales figures (Ford, i believe are one of the worst offenders of this practice).
