Car Reliability - choosing the right car
Choosing the right car on contract hire can be a challenge especially when vehicle reliability has to be taken into account. This is also important if you are buying a car for cash or using other forms of vehicle finance.
But how do you know which vehicle is the most reliable or what potential issue there might with the model you are considering?
If you decide on a non maintenance contract hire agreement the financial risk, regarding the reliability of the vehicle, rests with you.
So where do you look for up to date vehicle reliability data?

- This is provided by Warranty Direct, the UK’s leading independent automotive warranty specialist.
- They provide a free data source detailing the sorts of costs you can expect to pay with your car, if outside of the manufacturer warranty period.
- It will show you how frequently it might go wrong and which parts you should expect to go wrong.
- Manufacturer warranty cover periods will vary so do check this out as well.
- The data in the Reliability Index link below is obtained from the number of policies Warranty Direct holds on each model, so there may be some omissions however.
- They will only publish data where they have enough policies and claims to provide a fair reflection.
- There is also a customer feedback section as well.
- However the Reliability Index is linked to the claims processed by them and is updated daily, so more vehicles are being added.
- So check out the Reliability Index and research your vehicle before you choose.
- Alternatively if you opt for “with maintenance” contract hire you need not worry as the costs for this should be covered by the "with maintenance"contract.
