[0:00] what are the most reliable used cars you
[0:02] can buy well in this video I'm going to
[0:04] tell you car is teamed up with warranty
[0:06] wise which is the UK's leading provider
[0:08] of aftermarket warranties and they have
[0:10] the data from thousands of breakdowns
[0:11] and car related problems they analyze
[0:13] the data to work out which cars are the
[0:15] most and least reliable they record the
[0:17] age and mileage of each car they know
[0:19] how much they cost to fix and how long
[0:21] the repairs took they ignore cars which
[0:23] had less than 100 warranty plans to
[0:25] ensure a fair sample size and vans are a
[0:27] whole separate thing so they've excluded
[0:29] those as well well although you will
[0:30] find a pickup in this list somewhere all
[0:33] the models in warranty wise's data were
[0:34] less than 10 years old and none had any
[0:36] of their manufacturers official warranty
[0:38] left after all you buy an aftermarket
[0:41] warranty once the manufacturer's
[0:43] warranty has run out they factored all
[0:45] this information into a reliability
[0:46] index which gives each car a score out
[0:49] of 100 the higher the score the more
[0:51] reliable the car is so let's get
[0:53] cracking with the most reliable used
[0:55] cars of 2024
[1:00] in 10th place it's the Mitsubishi ASX it
[1:03] scored 85.3 out of 100 if you were
[1:06] likely to have problems with one of
[1:07] these small SUVs the stats say the most
[1:09] likely area would be the suspension the
[1:11] average repair bill paid out by warranty
[1:13] wise on these cars was
[1:15] £755 but the highest bill seen by one of
[1:17] these was for an engine problem which
[1:19] cost £
[1:21] 3,343 to put right overall though the
[1:24] trusty ASX is pretty reliable so it
[1:26] deserves 10th place except it's not the
[1:29] only car in that slot because the Honda
[1:30] CRV also scored 85.3 points in warranty
[1:34] wise's reliability index I'm talking
[1:36] about the fourth and fifth generation
[1:37] cars sold from 2014 onwards they earned
[1:40] their top 10 place with an average
[1:42] repair cost of just
[1:43] £592 which is a little less than the
[1:45] Mitsubishi if anything's going to go
[1:47] wrong the most likely area is the
[1:49] electrical system although the biggest
[1:51] baill warrantywise saw for a CRV was for
[1:53] a gearbox issue that cost £
[1:56] 2,819 to fix I should add this is the
[1:58] most reliable 76 in this top 10
[2:00] Countdown so it's one to depend on if
[2:02] you got lots of mates you can't stop
[2:04] breeding onto Ninth Place and it's
[2:05] another joint billing this time for the
[2:07] Volkswagen up and the second generation
[2:10] Kia seed both of which scored 87.1 out
[2:13] of 100 the little Volkswagen made owner
[2:15] sweat with a common air conditioning
[2:16] fault and the average repair cost
[2:18] according to warranty wise for all up
[2:20] issues was £
[2:21] 554 the biggest bill came to £
[2:24] 1,048 which was to mend a faulty fuel
[2:26] system overall though small car small
[2:28] problems as for the k the biggest
[2:30] problem for owners was remembering where
[2:32] the apostrophe goes in the name anyway
[2:34] they scrap that name beyond that seeds
[2:36] racked up an average repair bill of £
[2:38] 612 and the most common problems were
[2:40] with the brakes the biggest bill on a
[2:42] single car mind you was £
[2:43] 2,450 for a gearbox fault maybe there
[2:46] was a rogue apostrophe jammed in it how
[2:48] come these cars share the same score
[2:49] when the Kia repair costs are higher
[2:51] than the Volkswagen well it's because
[2:52] the Volkswagen up tended to be newer and
[2:54] have fewer miles on them than the Kia
[2:56] when they had issues and when you factor
[2:58] that into the results warranty wise gave
[3:00] both cars the same reliability index
[3:02] score onto eighth place which is
[3:03] occupied by the Toyota rensus
[3:06] specifically the third generation car
[3:08] sold between 2015 and 2018 fun fact this
[3:11] model has the highest average mileage of
[3:13] any car in our top 10 with over 93,000 M
[3:17] on average for the cars according to
[3:19] warranty wires the most common thought
[3:21] with the Avensis was to do with the fuel
[3:23] system and the average repair bill was a
[3:25] chunky
[3:25] £89 but one events sis actually needed
[3:28] £1,950 £58 spending on it to fix the
[3:31] turbocharger on to seventh place and
[3:33] it's another joint billing this time
[3:35] between a pair of small cars it's a
[3:37] second generation Toyota iGo and the
[3:39] third generation Mazda 2 both scoring
[3:41] 88.4 out of 100 the iGo is the smaller
[3:44] of the two and as you'd expect has the
[3:46] smaller bills the average repair cost
[3:48] according to warranty wise was £51 and
[3:51] the most common issues with the iGo were
[3:53] to do with the clutch meanwhile the
[3:54] highest Bild that they paid out for on
[3:56] an iGo was
[3:58] £590 for a problem with the car's
[4:00] electrical system for the Mazda the most
[4:02] common issues were suspension related
[4:03] and the average repair cost worked out
[4:05] to
[4:06] £63 the highest bill on a Mazda 2 was
[4:09] quite a lot more than on the iigo it was
[4:11] a fort with one car's fuel system which
[4:13] cost a staggering
[4:15] 3,636 to put right one reason why the
[4:17] Mazda got the same overall score though
[4:19] as the Toyota despite having more
[4:21] expensive repairs was because the
[4:22] repairs took less time to carry out on
[4:25] average so the owner's car was off the
[4:27] road for less time and this is another
[4:29] thing that is factored into the scoring
[4:32] index in sixth place is another small
[4:34] car the C it me which scored 89 out of
[4:36] 100 it also had the lowest average
[4:38] repair bill in this top 10 at
[4:40] £489 per fix the most common issues were
[4:43] to do with the cooling system and the
[4:45] heftiest bill ever seen on one of these
[4:46] according to warranty wise was only £
[4:49] 1,296 and it was to fix a gearbox
[4:51] problem now you might be thinking Al on
[4:53] a sec the Volkswagen up is the exact
[4:55] same car as the me so how come they
[4:57] don't get the same reliability score
[4:59] well warranty wise's data show the
[5:01] average mileage on the Mii before it had
[5:02] any issues was over 68,000 Mi compared
[5:05] to 53,000 Mi on average for the up and
[5:08] warranty wise also found that there was
[5:10] less chance overall of the seat going
[5:12] wrong compared to the Volkswagen which
[5:14] is why the seat beats the Volkswagen in
[5:16] this list if you're changing your car
[5:18] then you got to check out car wow
[5:20] because there's nothing quite like
[5:21] knowing that you're getting a great
[5:22] price both when selling your old car and
[5:24] finding a new one car makes all the
[5:25] stuff that's hard work about car
[5:28] changing like the Hagg
[5:30] the no
[5:32] shows and the nasty surprise is a thing
[5:36] of the past life changing now if you
[5:38] want to go a car while right now I'll
[5:40] put a link in the description of this
[5:42] video and the Ping comment alternatively
[5:43] you can click on the pop out Banner ping
[5:45] in the top right hand on the screen now
[5:47] or scan the QR code on screen using your
[5:49] mobile phone to go directly there car
[5:52] change car wow now we're on to the top
[5:54] five and it starts with the Suzuki SX4
[5:57] specifically the second generation model
[5:58] sold after 20 4 this car scored 89.3 out
[6:02] of 100 making it the most reliable small
[6:04] SUV in this rundown according to
[6:06] warranty wise the average repair bill on
[6:08] an SX4 is £
[6:10] 1,358 and the most common problems
[6:12] relating to the cooling system however
[6:14] warranty wise did have to pay out £
[6:18] 6,483 to fix an engine problem on one
[6:20] particular SX4 now that sounds very
[6:22] expensive compared to the other cars on
[6:24] this list so why does the SX4 get such a
[6:26] high reliability score well one reason
[6:28] is that the Suzuki tends to be older
[6:30] than most cars before it encounters
[6:31] problems and according to warranty wise
[6:33] the average age of these cars before
[6:34] they needed repairs was almost 9 years
[6:37] old that's as high as any car in this
[6:39] top 10 list on to fourth place and it's
[6:41] another joint billing shared between two
[6:44] very different cars the only thing
[6:45] they've got in common is that they're
[6:46] both Japanese you're pulling a surprise
[6:48] face I can tell you you wouldn't expect
[6:50] Japanese to do so well in this survey a
[6:52] anyway in fourth place we have the
[6:54] second and third generation Suzuki Swift
[6:56] and the seventh and eighth generation
[6:58] Toyota hux made after 2014 these cars
[7:01] both scored 89.6 out of 100 in the
[7:04] warrantywise reliability index most
[7:06] common problems on the Suzuki Swift are
[7:08] to do with its air conditioning and the
[7:09] average repair bill on the car works out
[7:11] to
[7:12] £588 according to warrantywise but one
[7:14] person out there saw a bill of £
[7:17] 2,411 because something had gone wrong
[7:19] with the car's engine presumably
[7:20] something quite big even so the little
[7:22] Suzuki hatchback has rightly earned its
[7:24] impressive fourth place now on to theux
[7:26] the only pickup in our top 10 it's a
[7:28] bigger and more expensive machine than
[7:30] the Suzuki Swift and the average repair
[7:31] bill reflects that coming in at £
[7:34] 1,512 the most common problems are with
[7:36] the suspension and in one particular
[7:38] case sorting a suspension fault cost
[7:40] warrantywise £
[7:41] 3,894 to fix now if you're wondering how
[7:44] the hux and Swift can occupy the same
[7:46] slot when their repair prices are so
[7:48] different the answer is that
[7:49] statistically the Toyota Hilux went
[7:51] wrong less frequently than the Suzuki
[7:53] well what do you expect it's a hux after
[7:55] all the world's toughest vehicle now
[7:57] though we're into the top three and it
[7:58] starts with a another Toyota the third
[8:00] generation Yaris it scored 91.5 out of
[8:03] 100 according to warranty wise the
[8:05] average repair bill on one of these
[8:07] Toyota Yaris is is £
[8:08] 587 the most common problems relate to
[8:11] the car's electrical systems although
[8:13] the most expensive Bill to fix a Toyota
[8:14] Yaris came to
[8:16] 2366 to put a gearbox fault right now
[8:19] we're up to the second most reliable car
[8:21] according to warranty wise and it is the
[8:23] Kia Wenger with a score of 93.6 out of
[8:26] 100 the Wenger doesn't seem to go wrong
[8:28] very often but if it does the most
[8:30] likely issue will be the electrical
[8:31] system warranty wise found that the
[8:33] average repair bill on a Kia venger was
[8:35] £
[8:36] 684 but one person did have an issue
[8:38] with their cost steering and it racked
[8:40] up a bill of £
[8:43] 2,883 now before I announce the most
[8:45] reliable car I want to name check a few
[8:47] models that aren't in this top 10 but
[8:49] come top in their respective categories
[8:51] starting with the most reliable limine
[8:54] and it's the Audi A8 specifically the
[8:56] third and fourth generation models also
[8:58] known as the D4 and 5 in Audi nerd speak
[9:01] they scored 59.6 out of 100 so not so
[9:04] brilliant really but it's better than
[9:06] cars like the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes
[9:08] S-Class now the most common problems
[9:09] with the Audi A8 are to do with the
[9:11] Emissions Control Systems the average
[9:13] repair bill on the A8 according to
[9:14] warranty wise worked out to
[9:17] £1,550 but there was one A8 which had a
[9:19] problem with its fuel system that cost a
[9:21] staggering £
[9:23] 6,128 to put Right Moving On we come to
[9:26] the most reliable sports car and
[9:27] surprise surprise it is of course the
[9:29] Mazda MX5 as I said at the beginning
[9:32] though we're only considering cars under
[9:34] 10 years old which means the tail end of
[9:36] the third generation NC models and the
[9:38] fourth generation ND cars they scored an
[9:41] average of 81.5 out of 100 which isn't
[9:43] far off what cars in the top 10 are
[9:45] getting the average repair bill on those
[9:47] MX5 worked out to £
[9:49] 1,4 which is quite High and the most
[9:52] common problems related the car
[9:54] suspension however one MX5 had problems
[9:56] not only with its suspension but a drive
[9:58] shaft too and the the total repair bill
[10:00] came to
[10:02] £351 next up is large Saloon cars and
[10:05] Estates and the most reliable in that
[10:06] group is the Volvo v90 this car's
[10:08] average repair Bill according to
[10:10] warranty wise is £
[10:11] 1,120 and the most common problems
[10:13] relate to the electrical system however
[10:15] in one case a v90 developed a gearbox
[10:18] Vault that cost £
[10:20] 5,832 to fix as a result its overall
[10:23] score of 65.9 out of 100 was only okay
[10:26] finally though we come to the most
[10:28] reliable hot hatch and it is the Ford
[10:30] Fiesta ST I'm talking about the Sixth
[10:32] and Seventh Generation cars here which
[10:33] are both absolute crackers to drive and
[10:36] you'll more than likely get to enjoy
[10:37] them without interruption because they
[10:39] scored an impressive 71.5 out of 100 in
[10:42] the warrantywise reliability index if
[10:44] you're going to have issues with one of
[10:45] these cars the most likely area is the
[10:47] clutch and if you're getting a bill for
[10:49] any issue it'll set you back an average
[10:51] of
[10:53] 1,297 to fix but brace yourself for this
[10:56] one fiester SD had an engine issue so
[10:58] severe that it cost
[11:01] 9,457 61 to put right anyway now we come
[11:05] back to our reliability top 10 and I can
[11:08] reveal that the number one car is the
[11:10] Suzuki Alto which scored a hugely
[11:13] impressive 95.1 out of 100 warrantywise
[11:16] did have one case of a gearbox repair
[11:18] which cost £
[11:20] 1,584 to fix but on average the repair
[11:23] built on a Suzuki Alto came to £
[11:26] 687 and the Really striking thing is
[11:28] just how little the Alto goes wrong in
[11:30] fact warrantywise has so little data on
[11:32] Suzuki Alto problems that there isn't a
[11:34] most common problem the data just says
[11:37] miscellaneous and I think that says it
[11:39] all anyway I hope you enjoyed the video
