St Austell, Cornwall -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/01/2015 -- Honda has beaten other manufacturers to be crowned the UK's top manufacturer when it comes to the reliability of its second-hand vehicles.
For car buyers in the UK, securing a used vehicle which is not only practical and affordable but also reliable is a key concern. And so many people base their purchases upon the track record of specific manufacturers rather than being swayed by snazzy but ultimately meaningless aesthetic features.
The latest study from What Car? Has found that of the top 37 car manufacturers selling their vehicles in the UK, Japanese firm Honda builds the most reliable vehicles, which continue to offer mile after mile of uninterrupted motoring to drivers nationwide.
The study covered vehicles aged between three and eight years, with Honda being joined in the top five by Suzuki and Toyota - both of which also hail from Japan.
European and American manufacturers were not entirely left out in the reliability rankings, with Ford, Peugeot and Fiat all managing to secure a place amongst the top ten most reliable used-car manufacturers. But worryingly for those who have a bit more cash to spend on a second-hand vehicle, lots of the luxury brands did not manage to match their cheaper rivals.
Both Bentley and Porsche were found at the bottom of this latest reliability league table, showing that the prestige of the brand and the amount you spend on a second-hand car will not have anything to do with how long it will last before a breakdown occurs.
Buying a used car is a good way to save money, and with information on manufacturer reliability available, drivers can make informed decisions.
