The LEAST reliable cars 2024!

Thanks to Warrantywise Extended Car Warranties for providing the data used in this video:

Here it is - the top 10 most unreliable used cars you can buy in 2024!

We’ve teamed up with the team at Warrantywise to find out which ten cars they rank as the least reliable cars you can buy in 2024. To compile this list, there are a few things to consider regarding this data.

For one, all models included in this list are less than 10 years old, so they’re all relatively new, and the manufacturer warranty has expired for all cars included. The list also excludes vans - we’re only looking at cars here!

The question is, which car will come out on top? There’s a stereotype that Italian cars are notoriously unreliable - will we see a load of Alfas and Fiats appear in the top 10? And on the flip side, will we see any ever-reliable German brands appear in the countdown?

There’s only one way to find out - stick with Mat to see for yourself!

I bought a C7 RS6, 6 months ago for £37k and I've spent over £7560 fixing it since. Biggest cost is recent being the propshaft. Centre support gave out and allowed the propshaft to flex more than it should. Didn't snap or anything but it does need replacing.

I've got no extended warranty either... Lol

[robinhilfenhaus]

Can you please put make an episode on the most reliable cars in UK please . With normal day to day cars, not M3 or RS models

[ChristopherOvrebo]

If you're watching a UK car list, good or bad, it's always going to be comprised of a Land Rover and a bunch of German cars

[leenyakundi]

Great content.Kindly do a video on top 10 cars to consider or the most reliable in each category

[Anonymous-sonl]

Absolutely no japanese brand makes it on here. Best engineering from them 👏

[somecallmetim]

How on earth can replacing the clutch on a Smart car cost £5200!!! ??? Methinks the garage has been ripping them off 🤣

[christopherryan]

Back in school when I made a mistake the teacher used to put a red circle around the error, Audi put 4 circles on their errors just so you know.

Im glad to contribute to that list for the seat leon cupra. 4 and a half years old 37k miles and coolant started leaking

[diarx]

Alfa being more reliable than these guys in 2024, who would have thought!

[seeballc]

Great video. Literally had 2 of these to test drive today!

[arthursanthosh]

Interesting and informative content. Can you do another video with the most reliable cars? Preferably the sport versions - AMG, M versions of BMW or RS from Audi and Porsche?

[zbatchDOC]

This is important context showing- “hey, drag racing is fun…. But there are more important things” lol

My 2021 Seat Leon FR ehybrid has just been repaired under dealer warranty for a total of 3500 pounds. That includes a motor control unit, a coolant pump, wiring, updated firmware due to faults and new buttons on the steering wheel.

[Derrmo]

So basically expensive cars are expensive to repair. I think we all knew that.

[glembaj]

FYI, had new toyota rav 4, drove it for 200K miles. I had 2 repairs in total, i changed the clutch at about 160k miles and one ignition coil at 170k miles. Never ever replaced exhaust tail pipe which is freakin unbelievable.

[yohansharp]

As a Jag owner, I though this video was about british cars only

[DarkAssasin]

We need one more episode of "most reliable cars"❤❤
