Japanese cars have topped a reliability table which places British vehicles last. UK brands scored badly in the eight-nation table “thanks to low reliability scores from both Jaguar and Land Rover”, according to the insurance company that compiled the list.
The table was drawn up from analysis of British-owned vehicles averaging five years old and with mileages of about 50,000. The lower the score given to a particular country’s cars, the more reliable they were.
Japan, with a score of 80, was at the top, followed by France (with a score of 113), South Korea (123), and the United States
