Crazy times...

it depends if reliability means software or engines these days. Dodgy BYD software is less of an issue than a dodgy engine.

BYD are 25th.
Land Rover are 26th.

It's just the DM doesn't know how to write lists properly.

The amount of Mercedes issues I have heard of makes me reluctant to take this list as gospel.

I was shocked to see Ford at the bottom.

I was shocked that you think 21 is lower than 30

Maybe it's the Chelski area I live in, but I every car I see on the back of a low loader is a JLR product.

Nope. It's all I see in central/west Scotland belt too.

I don't think they are. Jeep seem to be, table is upside down.

The DM like to distort things to suit their agenda, which is to wind up the hard of thinking into being annoyed by something (anything) and to give "confirmation" of their prejudices.

My employer chose a couple of Mercedes V Class cars for employees to use and both are forever having something fixed despite having covered fewer than 5,000 miles. I'm not remotely impressed with them.

Same area of Scotland, can't say I've noticed it, or any brand being more common for that matter.

Yeah, its specifically targeted at a section of "ABC1" gentlefolk, it seems to rely on emotional triggers, such as moral panic, anger over government spending, immigration, or perceived threats to traditional British stuff, which drives their engagement. Headlines are often crafted to evoke a strong sense of injustice, anxiety, or indignation. regardless of the actual truth of the article.

Imagine reading it unironically, taking it as news ? Imagine going and buying a copy of the actual paper ?
