- 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.
