Want to know how to sell your car? 83% of customers get a higher price with carwow - it’s also free and easy! Check us out here: bit.ly/Buy-Sell-WOW
.............................................................
If you're in the market for a new car (whether new or used), have you ever wondered how reliable the car you're choosing actually is? Well, wonder no more! We've teamed up with Warrantywise to provide a list of the 15 least reliable cars you can buy!
Now one thing to consider is that these cars are all older generation cars, as any new model is likely to still be covered by a manufacturer warranty. However, it still helps to give you an idea of which brands and types of cars seem to be the worst offenders when it comes to reliability!
The question is, are you surprised by any of the cars on this list? And more importantly, would you still consider buying a car that's featured in this video?! Let us know in the comments!
Disclaimer: average repair costs collated over a period between 2021 and 2022. Since the sample was selected, Warrantywise has seen a significant rise in the price of labour and parts, which will impact future repair costs.

The most shocking thing for me in this video is that warranty wise paid out. I had a terrible time getting them too pay up for my car when I had a warranty through them and when they agreed I couldn't find a garage too do the repairs because nobody wanted too deal with them. Even 3 of there own recommended garages turned me away as they said they didn't want too pay correct labour charges. I ended up paying for repairs myself.

Not surprised about the Range Rover, when we were looking for our current car we went to one prestige dealer near us (not a small place either) and they'd stopped selling them because one had an engine fault whilst under their initial 3 month warranty which necessitated a new engine and cost them £20k to fix it 😵

Something to take into account: notice how this list is mostly luxury brands / expensive models? Thats because people that can afford these cars are the ones taking extended warranty. The cheap / middle class cars aren't represented. Who wants extended warranty on a cheap car that, if it breaks down, is cheap to fix? Nobody. Somebody making boatloads of money doenst want the hassle of finding the cheap local mechanic, dealing with waiting times etc. They just want their m5 fixed, ASAP.

I guess it's because of better diesel quality and colder and drier climate. In Taiwan the 2.2D engine can suffer blown head gasket causing coolant to spray over the engine, which will require an engine replacement after the coolant leak. Fortunately Taiwan Mazda offer lifetime warranty for the diesel engine on CX-5 and Mazda6. In Japan most CX-5 were diesel variant, from by observation during my Japan trip.

Never had so many electrical issues in a car in my life. Great ride, lovely interior. Guess I was lucky that COVID made the value invert and they were able to resell.

Nothing new there. I personally would not touch a Land Rover product with numerous bargepoles fastened together. Depending on the size of 4x4 you want/need, either Toyota, or the likes of Hyundai/Kia can meet your needs. Ok, they don't have the same social clout at a wine & cheese party, or a grouse shoot, but who the hell needs his vehicle to be in the workshop being fixed every few weeks? A friend of mine bought a new Kia Sorrento (which as you may know, is RR sized) and has covered 80k miles in it in 4 years or so. Not a single thing has gone wrong, and all it has required has been regular servicing. He has a new one on order. And I'm guessing he *doesn't* know the service manager's name at his local Kia dealer.....My friend with the Sorrento also mentioned that one particular Kia he was told about, developed a gearbox fault with just a few months of the original manufacturer's warranty left. They fitted a new gearbox without so much as a quibble.....

Some of this finds its way past the pistons and into the oil. you get a very early service light on and it requires an oil change.

This list here takes the price of the repair into account, which obviously leads to more luxury brands in the top places, they are produced in lesser numbers and use more expensive parts, so the repair is more expensive. A much better metric to measure how reliable a car (atleast what the most people mean when talking about reliability) is to look at how often / how long a car model had to visit a workshop on average. I think measuring the average time a certain car model spend in a workshop is far more useful to figure out how reliable a car is. If they wouldn't have used this "minimum of 100 cars" - requirement in this survey, the whole list would be full of super- and hypercars, because changing tyres on a bugatti will cost more than buying a new toyota. Your 10k car can break down 20 times and this list would still say it's more reliable than a hypercar which has to do a single repair. In my opinion the way they measured reliability here is not really useful. Which doesn't mean that I think the luxury brands wouldn't still be on top, but I think it's mainly about the higher complexity of luxury cars and not the build quality. When there is more tech and stuff in your car, then there is more stuff to break.

I don't know about the other brands, but especially in the BMWs case, including the early models with later model years and even different chassis is always bound to cause some issues with the data. The fuel system issues with those early N63s and S63s were common yes, but i guarantee you that if you made a list of the current F90 and (whatever the X6 was), then you'd be harder pressed to find fuel system or hell even the aforementioned timing chain issues on them as well. Had my F10 535i been on this list (a 20114+ example) and been combined with an early model year, you could add fuel pump, solenoids, timing, and radiator fan to the list of expected issues that i would face, but since they updated the engine in 2014, those issues are squashed.

I have to say I'm not shocked to see a few BMWs on the list. I definitely expected the F10 M5 on there for valves and turbo related issues and the E9X M3 on there for rod bearings and TBAs.....BUT THE LIST ONLY MENTIONED THE TBAs lol. Then the big shocker is looping the F8X M3/4 in there with the E9X. 2012-2019. REALLY. I'm an M4 owner so call me biased but this is the first M3/4 generation that most would consider "reliable". There are high-mileage tuned and modded F8Xs out there now without any issues. I have 98K miles on mine and the only thing I had to fix/replace was a leaking coolant tank. 50K miles of that I have been running BM3 stage 2 and downpipes. When it popped up at #2 I figured it was going to be a crankhub case but they said throttle bodies and transmission. LOL I have never heard of a single person with a throttle body issue on the F8Xs. The E9Xs have those issues all the time. I have heard of a few DCT issues between both generations but nothing common enough to ask about during a PPI. I have a group of roughly 90 M cars that get together locally and besides the brand new cars, the F8Xs are the only ones that are never down for maintenance, never smoking, never idling rough, never having window regulator issues, coolant leaks, or fuel issues. Seem like they looped the F8Xs in to E9X problems accidentally.

I always assumed the F80 would have been even better - I only know of occasional crank hub failures. What is completely unsurprising is seeing JLR round out the remaining positions in top 3. I owned one JLR product for 6 months, which ended up being 4 months in the shop and 2 months on the road. If there ever was a brand that defined "surprisingly disappointing" it would be JLR.

M3 variants has nothing to do with ordinary 3'rd series modes... They use different electroncs, different engines, different gearbox even... It is an entirely different car, put in a standard shell... So 3'rd series is one of the most reliable BMW lines, also the 4'th as they are practically the same... When you go to the 5'th series, the realibility drops, as it is a bigger, bulkier car, with more electronics... Now M3 and M5 as completely different cars do require a casual full engine maintenance on about 50000 km or so and occasional adiditional maintenance, as they are not meant to be an everyday car and are for people who don't really care about repairs cost... CarWow rightfully stated M3 and M5 and not the standard 3'rd or 5'th series... Practically every sport line, has reduced reliability and that is completely normal...

I paid £230 from a salvage yard, spent around 130 on it including the price of an m.o.t and never let me down in 6 years. It now has nearly 185k miles and abused it to death but still run amazing. Serviced every almost 2 years. I carried bags of cement, rubble, scaffold poles, rescued many cars with it, raced its bolts off and all its ever asked me for is a clutch and thermostat.

2 reasons why that wouldn't work- 1stly it would split the numbers into samples sizes that are almost all too small for useful data. 2ndly a lot of the issues are things like electrics where it really doesn't matter what engine you've got so you'd then have to start considering splitting by spec as well, at which point it just gets silly. In general the S Class is an unreliable model. For anyone who is considering one, they would have to do proper research into which bits are unreliable and why, since some cars also lose points because of generally being less well looked after and how they're driven so for a careful owner may be very reliable, while others (M cars being an easy example) are just going to break whatever you do.

@@ApothecaryTerry Point number 1, sample size, makes sense. Although I think it might still be misleading to the average buyer who will probably not do any specific research. To say that "the Audi A6 is more reliable than a BMW 5er", for example, is not really of great help to a buyer if we do not consider specific engines where, i.e. it might be that a 540d is more reliable than a 3.0TDI of the same year. (Not stating that it necessarily is, just making an example). 2nd Yes, it's true that a lot of electronics will fail before the engine does, and that every trim level / package will have different electronics, but I think most of the times those failures matter less because they will rarely stop the car from running if they are not standard, and probably they will cost less to fix than an engine trouble. But sure, a buyer should take all kind of possible failures in mind.

@@nomad6-1 I wouldn't say that grouping the engines is misleading, but I do think providing the extra info where possible would be valuable. Same conclusion really, but I would put more emphasis on any fault being with a buyer not doing the research rather than a KZfaq channel being at any fault for not providing a full analysis. After all, this is just Carwow, they're a gimmicky channel known mostly for drag races. I believe their score takes into account factors like whether the car was driveable and how long repairs took (Warranty Direct certainly used to do that) as well as both cost and frequency of repairs. More expensive cars inherently do worse because not only are repairs pricier, owners are more likely to bother getting them fixed. Adds some bias, but not unfairly since it'd be impossible to balance those factors out. Again just puts the onus on buyers to do proper research.

The Cayenne needed a replacement O2 sensor out of nowhere but that set me back 80 bucks. That was it. About 200k miles for both. The F8X M3/M4 is also extremely shocking cause the only issue I know is the crank hub. Other than that, people love these cars and happily drive them around quite a bit.

Joshua, I agree with you about the M3. If you notice, the video mentioned the biggest issue with the M3 (which included both F8x and E9x) were the throttle bodies. This really means the issue was more specific to the E9x generation M3 as it was the one with individual throttle bodies. The turbocharged M3 does not have (neither does it require) individual throttle bodies. The F8x I’ve heard is very very reliable. I cannot say anything about the Audi or the Porsche as I don’t know much about them but have definitely heard that the Porsche is generally very reliable.

I'll stick to my Rover 75 Tourer Auto 2003 Thanks !! 210k miles no major issues and very cheap to repair. No repair has cost over £200. The M47 BMW engine is good for half million miles. With all the £1000's we've saved by not buying a new car we've been on some fantastic holidays 3 times a year 😀 Happy days ✅

Well, it can’t break if it does not exist. And since more luxurious cars have more electronics in them they fail more often. And since premium cars have a premium price tag, they cost more to fix if they break. I think they should set the repair costs in relation with the purchase price of the car instead of using absolute figures.

Ofc every luxory cars most common problem is with electronics, everything in it has electronics. It slowly becomes like the smartphones,where basicly its no longer a phone, just looks like one. I especially dont like the touchscreens in the middle of it. They say don't use your phone while driving, but when you need something turned on or off, you need to fiddle with that plasmaTV. Its full of security. Especially since it can go bust anytime and take everything else with it.
