Ten most reliable used family cars revealed


The latest attempt by Warranty Direct to sell used car warranties has landed in our inbox. It reveals the ‘ten cars you can rely on this summer’, in doing so making the tacit suggestion that the other cars- your car, for example – might not be so reliable, and that you might benefit from taking out an extended warranty on your old banger. Warranty Direct cover starts from as little as £15 per month. So, the most reliable family car, as determined by Warranty Direct’s claims database, is the Toyota Corolla (MY 2001-2007), with around seven percent breaking down per year, on average – the lowest ratio.That’s closely followed by the Honda Civic, Honda Accord and Mazda 3, all of which have a ten percent rate. The Toyota Auris and Prius come next, with 11 and 12 percent respectively, followed by the Ford C-Max and Mondeo, with 14 and 15 percent.
