The LEAST reliable cars 2024!

Thanks to Warrantywise Extended Car Warranties for providing the data used in this video:
www.warrantywise.co.uk/
Here it is - the top 10 most unreliable used cars you can buy in 2024!
We’ve teamed up with the team at Warrantywise to find out which ten cars they rank as the least reliable cars you can buy in 2024. To compile this list, there are a few things to consider regarding this data.
For one, all models included in this list are less than 10 years old, so they’re all relatively new, and the manufacturer warranty has expired for all cars included. The list also excludes vans - we’re only looking at cars here!
The question is, which car will come out on top? There’s a stereotype that Italian cars are notoriously unreliable - will we see a load of Alfas and Fiats appear in the top 10? And on the flip side, will we see any ever-reliable German brands appear in the countdown?
There’s only one way to find out - stick with Mat to see for yourself!

Watson my vehicles are not in the so called UK. But give an opinion. It's got hundred thousand kilometers not miles. It's auto. It's got electrical faulty parts which need replacement plus some suspension parts to be replaced small cosmetic damage which may need shop repainting ultimately ... safelight needs to replace the windshield meaning the windshield is cracked. New tires. New brakes. And some servicing. Sourceable parts are 3000us or about plus 2000 quid then factor in sourced labor cost to replace parts and service we talking some pricey repairs. So what do u think it's worth factoring all repairs. It's a lexus is300 sport cross...

Interested in this. You mentioned the cooling issues on the seat leon cupra. However the main 'cooling ' issues I'm aware of apply to all VW EA888 engines and the well known water pump/thermostat housing issues, so it's hardly specific or more prevalent to the Leon and is rampant on all VW cars of a similar age with that engine. The main other issue happening on leons is the heater matrix getting blocked as a result of the silica bag in the header tank splitting, but in the main this is the 2.0. Diesel, so not the Leon Cupra.

[@varmastiko2908]

Not in relation to their power output. The percentage amount of strain under typical use is what counts. So lower powered cars have to work harder but are still more durable. How can that be then? It's because they are much more simple and simple is more reliable.

[@mrnicktoyou]

This list isn't for the most unreliable cars, it's the cost to repairs, which is a different thing. A cheap car could have far more faults constantly but because the parts are cheap, it wouldn't make this list.

[@davem9204]

Sort of, it's more like cost x frequency of faults. Maybe it would have been better if the cost of the faults was divided by the cost of the car itself? This would normalise the cost of repairs, and not weight against the expensive cars so much.

seriously guys, if you've always wanted a bmw but afraid because of the unreliability issues, JUST BUY ONE and try. I've owned a honda odyssey, mitsubishi Lancer, Lexus IS250. toyota prius and my first bmw was the 118i F20 and now im driving a 320i F30. my 320i is the most fun car I've owned and honestly the only issue I had was fault abs sensors which cost me $30 for all 4 lol.

I think some higher performance cars are driven harder than basic toyotas and hondas so they break down more. Also I don't think price should be in the equation as obviously expensive cars cost more to repair. It shout just be if they break a lot or not

[@kokibr91]

This is so relative. We see mostly performance cars and big SUVs which is absolutely normal. Having aftermarket insurance means they are high mileage too. Those expensive engine failures are most probably snapped timing chains/belts and it is for a whole new engine. Now you see why the depreciation of luxury and sports cars is so steep. People often forget that a 100k euro car has the same running costs after ten years when it costs just a fraction of it.

[@oibal60]

And THIS is why I own/drive a Toyota Camry (2011), 62,000 miles. Zero issues. I do my own maintenance. (Yes, I drained + refilled the tranny earlier as well as a 'multi drain+refill' of the cooling system.)

[@vinnyd91]

Phew, I was just about to ask you whether you had drained + refilled the tranny earlier as well as a 'multi drain+refill' of the cooling system. Looks like I didn't have to worry.

[@oibal60]

@vinnyd91 Yep, you SHOULD drain+refill the tranny around 50K miles, and every 20K or so afterwards. If you leave it too late (i.e. 100K) then your 'window of opportunity' has passed and now you have to leave it alone. FWIW, the drained fluid was a 'dark sherry' color, not bright red. I don't really believe in 'lifetime fluids'. The coolant was visibly in good condition, but the PH was off so I'm glad I changed it.

You pay more for ride quality, sound proofing, handling, acceleration, technology, interior quality, design and features.
