From today's PH News:

EUROPE'S MOST (AND LEAST) RELIABLE USED CARS

Expensive doesn't necessarily mean trustworthy

In the runup to the unveiling of much shiny new machinery at the Paris Show (we'll be there of course, scooping away), we thought it was worth reminding PHers that you do have a choice apart than new - ie used.

And if it's reliability you're after, a survey of 20,000 warranty policies recently carried out on European cars ...................... The '03-'10 Bentley Continental GT did poorly too - 78% of them needed attention in the first year.


Top 5 Most Reliable (and most common fault)
Mercedes E-Class (axle/suspension)
Skoda Fabia (electrical)
Smart ForTwo (cooling/heating)
Volvo C70 (electrical)
Renault Scenic (axle/suspension)

Top 5 Least Reliable
Land Rover Discovery (axle/suspension)
Bentley Conti GT (electrical)frown
Renault Espace (engine)
Mercedes SL (axle/suspension)
Land Rover Range Rover Sport (axle/suspension)

As the owner of an E-class Merc (my third, all of which have been paragons of reliability) I do feel a certain smugness creeping over me! wink
