And which ones to get rid of as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>However, finding a truly reliable car in the secondary market is very difficult. For example, Whatcar.com has compiled a ranking of the most problematic used cars in the UK between the ages of 6 and 15. To do this, they conducted a survey of 13,000 local drivers. They were asked to answer the question what problems were found on their cars in the last 12 months. Subsequently, in different categories, the model with the largest number of breakdowns was selected.<\/p>\n<h2>Tesla Model S (2014-2021)<\/h2>\n<p>The Tesla Model S liftback has become the least reliable car in the electric vehicle category. During the survey, it was found that more than half of the owners found a breakdown in the car. Most often, drivers complained about battery failure, electronics failure, problems with the suspension and braking system. At the same time, half of the respondents noted that all the malfunctions that arose were eliminated within a day. In addition, for 36% of those surveyed, the repair of American electric vehicles was free.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd41a51843.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd41a51843.webp\" alt=\"These models are better not to buy: a list of the most unreliable cars\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tesla model with<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really like the Tesla Model S, but the poor build quality let me down. So he has a lot of small problems, &#8220;explained one of the owners of the American electric car.<\/p>\n<h2>BMW 3-Series (2006-2013)<\/h2>\n<p>Among sports cars, drivers complained most often last year about the BMW 3 Series Coup\u00e9 and Convertible. More than 40% of German car owners reported visiting service centers in 2021 for repairs. Expensive work is explained by the fact that in most cases the owners of the BMW 3 series had problems with the engine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd41d1b6d3.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd41d1b6d3.webp\" alt=\"These models are better not to buy: a list of the most unreliable cars\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>bmw 3 series<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the least reliable car I've owned in a long time. I was also very disappointed by the lack of dealer support, &#8220;says a driver who participated in the survey in a comment.<\/p>\n<h2>Land Rover Discovery (2004-2017)<\/h2>\n<p>In the premium SUV category, Land Rover Discovery took first place in the anti-rating of used cars. Nearly half of owners of the previous generation model complained of numerous problems with the car. The main claims of motorists are related to the brake system, engine, steering, battery, gearbox and electronics. At the same time, only 9% of SUV owners admitted that their car was repaired for free. At the same time, 29% of those surveyed complained that they had to leave more than \u00a31,500 on the service. Among the few positive moments, the owners of Land Rover Discovery noted a fairly quick repair of their SUVs. Then.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd41fbc1a2.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd41fbc1a2.webp\" alt=\"These models are better not to buy: a list of the most unreliable cars\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Land Rover Discovery<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Reliability is terrible and maintenance costs are high. Add to that costly repairs,&#8221; summed up the owner of Land Rover Discovery.<\/p>\n<h2>Land Rover Discovery Sport (2014\u00a0-2021)<\/h2>\n<p>In addition, the Land Rover Discovery Sport has been heavily criticized by British motorists. As a result, the car was voted the least reliable large SUV. The most common problem with the car was a faulty exhaust system. This shortcoming was noted by 20% of the respondents. The British also complained about the engine, brakes, gearbox, as well as the malfunction of the air conditioning and navigation system. At the same time, 37% of respondents noted that their SUVs were repaired within a day and completely free of charge.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd422ea226.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd422ea226.webp\" alt=\"These models are better not to buy: a list of the most unreliable cars\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Land Rover Discovery Sport<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The number of faults I found is unacceptable for a premium car. There are many problems with electronics, but there are also many other complaints,&#8221; the respondent explained.<\/p>\n<h2>Range Rover Evoque (2011-2019)<\/h2>\n<p>Also, the British were not satisfied with the previous generation Range Rover Evoque, which turned out to be the leader in the category of the least reliable family crossovers. Most of the respondents pointed to various problems associated with the car body. In second and third place are problems with the suspension and gearbox. For 87% of crossover owners, repairs were free, the rest had to pay less than 200 pounds (about 20 thousand conditional units) for troubleshooting.).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd42519be2.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd42519be2.webp\" alt=\"These models are better not to buy: a list of the most unreliable cars\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Range Rover Ewok<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am disappointed with the low reliability and quality of some important parts of the car. This is clearly not what you expect from an expensive car,&#8221; said one of the motorists.<\/p>\n<h2>Mini Countryman (2010-2017)<\/h2>\n<p>The highest reliability indicators are recorded in the category of compact crossovers. Owners of these cars have the least chance of a breakdown in the UK. The Mini Countryman ranked first in the number of failures among compact crossovers. Although only 25% of the surveyed owners complained about the breakdown of this car last year. Mini Countryman repairs typically take less than a week in the UK, and a service center costs drivers between \u00a3751 and \u00a31,000.).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd42740e01.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd42740e01.webp\" alt=\"These models are better not to buy: a list of the most unreliable cars\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mini Countryman<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I really like my car, but it has a number of annoying flaws. For example, for no reason at all, the Check Engine light on the dashboard regularly lights up, &#8220;explained the owner of the Mini Countryman.<\/p>\n<h2>Jaguar XF (2015-2021)<\/h2>\n<p>The Jaguar XF was voted the most troubled luxury car in the poll. So, more than half of those surveyed complained about problems with the premium sedan. And many of them had to wait for a company car for more than a week. Of these, 44% of drivers offered free repairs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd42a2d7ab.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd42a2d7ab.webp\" alt=\"These models are better not to buy: a list of the most unreliable cars\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jaguar xf<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The most unreliable car I have ever owned. After three years and 70,000 miles, the sedan needed an engine replacement,&#8221; said the frustrated driver.<\/p>\n<h2>Mercedes-Benz C-Class (2014-2021)<\/h2>\n<p>Among executive cars, the British were most disappointed in the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, in addition, owners of German cars with gasoline engines had the most problems (44%). Most often, the owners of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class complained about problems with the battery. The repair of German cars in most cases took British drivers less than a week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd42cf27dd.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd42cf27dd.webp\" alt=\"These models are better not to buy: a list of the most unreliable cars\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mercedes s class<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The car itself is great, but the experience of owning this car is overshadowed by the exorbitant costs of parts and repairs,&#8221; the owner of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class shared with the publication.<\/p>\n<h2>Opel \/ Vauxhall Astra (2009 &#8211; 2015)<\/h2>\n<p>More than half of Opel\/Vauxhall Astra owners said in a survey that they had contacted service centers for help last year. As a result, the car was voted the least reliable family car. Most often, the air conditioner broke down in Astra. There were also problems with the engine and braking system. A third of these issues were resolved by service workers the same day they were called.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd4308cd91.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd4308cd91.webp\" alt=\"These models are better not to buy: a list of the most unreliable cars\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Vauxhall Astra<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My car had endless breakdowns. It broke down so often that I am already afraid to use it on the road,&#8221; the respondent explained.<\/p>\n<h2>Vauxhall Corsa (2006\u20132014)<\/h2>\n<p>Opel\/Vauxhall Corsa is traditionally considered the most popular car among novice drivers in the UK. Now the title of the least reliable economical car has been added to this unofficial title. As with the Astra, the main complaints are frequent problems with the air conditioning. Drivers also complained to service centers about battery and brake performance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd433c45d0.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-187557-624fd433c45d0.webp\" alt=\"These models are better not to buy: a list of the most unreliable cars\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Corsican Opel<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From premium crossovers and electric vehicles to affordable economy cars, used cars can be a problem for their owners.
