Research into nearly 900,000 cars operated by the country’s biggest 50 leasing companies has found that BMW Group’s model range is the most reliable in Britain – for the second year in a row.
The FN50 reliability survey, undertaken by Fleet News and financial consultants Grant Thornton and covering 840,000 cars, asks leasing companies to assess reliability according to the number of breakdowns per model on their fleet. As the majority of the surveyed vehicles are used for business and so are subjected to higher than average mileage and are in constant use in all conditions, such a testing environment means that winning the FN50 is a true testament to the reliability of a car.
To underscore BMW Group’s dominant position in this year’s survey, the Group has three entries in the top 10 most reliable cars list courtesy of the BMW 3 Series (2nd ), BMW 5 Series (5th ), and MINI (8th ).
