Drivers looking for fault-free motoring should steer clear of one of the most popular car marques on Britain’s roads – THE BMW.
The German upscale car brand is among the worst on the second-hand market for developing faults, according to researchers. Its BMW convertible series, aged between four and eight years old, was likely to be off the road longest for repairs at an average of 3.5 days. In the biggest survey of car reliability in the UK, nearly 40,000 drivers were quizzed on the most common faults which plagued their cars and which models had the worst record for faults. Among newer models under three years old, the Peugeot 3008 MPV was most likely to be off the road longest at an average of 1.94 days. Second was the Land Rover Discovery 4 which was found to be typically off the road for 1.82 days for repairs, followed by the Alfa Romeo Guiletta for 1.37 days.
