As per the latest auto news – A Research undertaken by Expert for Used Cars. The Al Ain Japan
Indicates that Japanese cars are the most reliable in the used car
category. A reliability survey also showed that the top seven places in
ten were taken by Japan Car Manufacturers while European used cars are
from among the ten least reliable.
Japanese car manufacturers Honda ·
leading for the fifth year, followed by Subaru, Mitsubishi, Lexus and
Toyota · in that order · took the top credits in polls conducted on
performing old cars aged between three and ten years. Very few of these
cars required repairs in a one year period of use, with Honda leading
with the least at just seven per cent cars needing repairs.The other
Japanese used cars leading the lot were Mazda and Nissan. Germany-made
Skoda and Britain-made MINI were the only cars from the west that passed
the survey of reliable used cars, with Skoda in the eighth and MINI in
the tenth position. Among the least reliable cars Land Rover of Britain
led at 53% failure rate with other European cars Renault, Alfa Romeo,
Peugeot, Vauxhall, MG, Saab, BMW, Rover and Audi proving to be prone to
more break downs. What Car? stated that break down charges on a Renault
are lower as compared to Mazda and Porsche.
These surveys are a boon to
car manufacturers, which keep striving to improve the mechanics of their
newer models to making them more reliable and in another couple of
years of more, the hard facts on these poorly performing vehicles are
likely to disappear altogether.Car manufacturers holding prestigious
positions have had to undergo embarrassing rates of failure as compared
to manufacturers of cars that have been pegged as not being reliable, as
the latter are showing signs of improving on their reliability status.
Among Japanese manufactured cars, in spite of the fact that used Honda
cars give the least problems, ten percent of their break downs happen
with the air conditioning systems.Subaru’s have gained notoriety with
their brakes failure and axle and suspension problems. Even with Toyota
having to recall several thousands of their cars from the showrooms,
their reliability rating for Japanese used cars has not fallen.
The new
manufacturing units for Japanese cars are improving on their cars and it
is anticipated that Japanese cars will maintain their number one
position for being the most reliable cars.So, if you have decided to buy
a used Japanese car, you have not made a wrong decision.
