Thanks to Warrantywise Extended Car Warranties for providing the data used in this video:
www.warrantywise.co.uk/
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! - Авто та транспорт

Ok👍👍👍
Audi rs6💀😰
Watson my vehicles are not in the so called UK. But give an opinion. It's got hundred thousand kilometers not miles. It's auto. It's got electrical faulty parts which need replacement plus some suspension parts to be replaced small cosmetic damage which may need shop repainting ultimately ... safelight needs to replace the windshield meaning the windshield is cracked. New tires. New brakes. And some servicing. Sourceable parts are 3000us or about plus 2000 quid then factor in sourced labor cost to replace parts and service we talking some pricey repairs. So what do u think it's worth factoring all repairs. It's a lexus is300 sport cross...

How on earth can replacing the clutch on a Smart car cost £5200!!! ??? Methinks the garage has been ripping them off 🤣
They went for the upgraded, refurbished one with the gold inlays apparently. I hope the danish in the waiting room was tasty.
My Mitsubishi in 3rd world clutch replacement cost 200 USD. Maybe cost double in first world but still cheap.
Keep in mind that Smart is owned by Mercedes-Benz, notoriously a pretty premium company
Mercedes dealerships fix smart. They rip people off
@@KHolzer444This series is a Renault. (Twingo). And there is a dual clutch transmission model, maybe the expensive problem.
This is important context showing- “hey, drag racing is fun…. But there are more important things” lol
There are actually so many more important and beautiful things in fact.
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
😂😂😂😂
sell it before the gearbox goes. that will be next. problem with second hand rs models is it's probably been owned by some moron who uses launch control for bants.
@@Jake-yy9fg I've already been in the gearbox and serviced it. It's actually in good condition. ZF 8 speed is quite robust.

@@JP_RS6 that's good to know. i know a couple of people with older Rs4 and Rs5 who had to replace the gearbox shortly after owning one and it cost a small fortune. hopefully the newer audis aren't as prone to it.
Great content.Kindly do a video on top 10 cars to consider or the most reliable in each category
Alfa being more reliable than these guys in 2024, who would have thought!
It doesn't come as a surprise to me.
Is known to every true professional. Although TBF you don't have to reach very high to not be on this list. All you have to do is beat the Germans which is childishly easy nowadays.

Lists are different website to website but generally the only cars I don’t have come into the garage other then for a service is new BMWs 2017+ and Mercedes other then a couple a classes with the rebuilt diesel lump so that doesn’t count
Mercedes is the very reason why German cars have such good reputation. Audi and BMW are overrated. But they seem to be great ego boosters.
Nobody's buying them
Tesla Model 3 built in Shanghai is very reliable. 100,000km done. Only a broken front parking sensor so far ….
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.
Kia Borrego 300k miles has been bulletproof reliable and i too still have the original exhaust, because Kia put a stainless steel one on the Borrego.
my tiguan 200k miles ... perfect
But you had to drive a Toyota rav 4🤣😭
I have always had Hondas, Toyotas and now Hyundai. Fortunately, have never had a single breakdown. Buy a reliable brand, drive it reasonably, keep it maintained. Pity about the i8, it's a really pretty concept car.
I had a Mitsubishi Lancer, worst car ever. Everything broke down and not at high milleage.
@@jobervoets6337
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.
No Mercedes-Benz in the list🎉
It improved alongside Porsche.
Weird, I know people who have issues with their W205 C class'
Also saw people have issues with their W206s online.
What kind of issues with the w205?
Smart is powered by Mercedes
Not reliability video still Mercedes is th worst reliable in the big 3 German
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?
i had warrantywise on 2 previous cars, they refused to pay out on either even though within their terms and the one they have paid out on they didn't include the diagnostic fee!
kinda forgot about the i8, first time i heard anyone mention it in years
Still a good looking thing though

Bmw took the cake😂
It's because there are a lot of them...
It's because most vag owners look after their cars and don't service them at Halfords 😂
@@pawelh yeah, there are a lot of them and they break quite often, so it's a mechanic's wet dream
Great video. Literally had 2 of these to test drive today!
Can confirm about the RS3. My 2017 just had the bevel box replaced (luckily under warranty) otherwise would have cost $11k
Nah no way Land Rover scored that high
☝️🤣🤣
It is if it had a warranty with these guys. If they didnt, then not included
Land Rover cars should've been rated as low as i8.
Because it’s a meme more than reality
It should be 2/100
Conclusion: if you want a "premium" german car, you will have to lease it and give it back in the end.
Not bmws
@@LafemmebearMusic did you watch the video?most were audis and bmws
Correct
I mean no, but I’d say you’d def need some sort of warranty 4 sure

Interested in this. You mentioned the cooling issues on the seat leon cupra. However the main 'cooling ' issues I'm aware of apply to all VW EA888 engines and the well known water pump/thermostat housing issues, so it's hardly specific or more prevalent to the Leon and is rampant on all VW cars of a similar age with that engine. The main other issue happening on leons is the heater matrix getting blocked as a result of the silica bag in the header tank splitting, but in the main this is the 2.0. Diesel, so not the Leon Cupra.
Indeed, and is not so expensive to replace the pump water. It s a very reliable engine EA888
@@stefzable best enginer the ea888
I have a seat leon cupra 2019 and i did get the coolant issue but it seems to have fixed by itself. I got the warnings about 1 year ago and it was very weird as i didn't see any coolant leaking. But it was low so i filled it up. Then the day after it happened again and im talking about the red warning were there is NO cooling left. So i kept an eye on the temp and it did eventually go up so i had to pull over. But after that i filled it up and then it seemed fine. Don't know what happened just glad it hasn't again ever sense.
I have my doubts that this is a representative list. The average Kangoo Owner is not gonna pay for an aftermarket insurance. Still intersting.
Correct. Plus it makes no sense that a Cupra would be less reliable than the equivalent Golf, unless Seats are maintained badly, in which case this list becomes a 'worst maintained' collection.
F80 is very reliable...only thing that could explain being #3 is owners modifying and tuning so frequently.
Same goes for RS3, so many people put ECU tune on it, while that DSG is very torque limited...
@@Missacek ya true. RS3 tunes very well (in terms of easy hp)
Nope man they are not..i love them almost buy onebut the truth here in my country half of them seized with rods and gaskets..it could be a good sue case..the dealers recommended 0-30 oil..in countries that have 40c plus in Shadow.f10 m5 too..its a hugeee issue..al mechanics have from one inside..AMG its way better with reliability
According to the undisputed world expert in tuning RS3’s (Hank Iroz), its gearbox is the jewel in the crown of an RS3 - IROZ’s 7 second RS3 that has done thousands of launches still has its stock gearbox. Therefore, pretty conclusive that its people getting crappy tunes out there.
@@dash-kt7uf a visit in Google and in rs3 forums you will see they start explode all over the place..gearbox and engines
I had a few leon cupras, never had any issues with cooling, especially the 290, that car was hammered for 50k miles and never once had an issue with cooling or the engine
See this just goes to show your flashy cars aren’t so great after all with not being reliable. I’ve been there and done that had loads of cars. But you know what brings me joy and peace of mind, my run around 2005 Nissan micra lol hasn’t given me any issues, dirt cheap to run most reliable car I’ve owned so far.
Nissan brillant. They have the Micra the Skyline. Gtr R35 and 200sx plus the Datsun cherry!
@@danielshinerock1526 yes Nissan is a brilliant brand also Toyota
No Japanese car mentioned 🔥
no italy , no brazilian , no chinese ... best car is germany ...
They are great cars, if they have more defects, it's because they have more technology and it even seems like they are breaking down... Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche and Opel... they are wonderful cars. You must be a low-income person, and then you have to have the same car for years. I understand.
Mercedes sipping on some champagne here lol
That's true, but it isn't really indicative of average brand reliability. For all we know VW could have the next 10 least reliable cars but they wouldn't be on this list.
Still, it's a fun exercise.
Mercedes was king in the mid-century through the early 90's, on average, sadly, they're hot garbage now. This is per my father-in-law, who's the head mechanic for a very large Mercedes dealership. He used to drive C-classes all the time, he and his wife drive Lexus now, lol.
They don't really sell that many cars in comparison. And the comment above is correct. They're just a shell of what they used to be. These days I'd take an A6 over an E class.
Just curious. Why arent they good anymore? @@mediocreman2
@@jmartini2387what makes you say that? Just curious
My Friend had Aidi A7 from new after buying it for £70,000+ and it developed engine problems . The main dealers tried to get out of covering it with the warranty and wanted my friend to pay £10,000 . Several months later and various solicitors involved , they backed down and fixed under warranty .
Great video guys ! But can we do one with the most reliable too ?
£31k for an engine....that's ridiculous
can buy new honda civic with that amount of money
yeaaah... kinda gettin' feeling that garage is rippin them off hahaha. OOOOR OOOOR , it could be money launder. i havent said that. Until we meet again xD
Probably half is the labour cost to remove the engine then replace the new one.
thats how much s55 costs
Yes, but not as ridiculous as £19k for a brake repair
Before the video begins i directly predicted that no japanese car is on the list..
Interesting, he says "Italian cars are known for reliability problems", but there's only one italian car in the list, and in fact most of the cars are german, which people think are the most reliable! Wondering what other evidence people need to get rid of this popular belief...
German cars are not reliable since 2005 but you're right some people still think they are, japanese cars are now #1
Yep , out of date , old stereo types , but anyone who knows anything about cars, knows that all cars break and have faults , but the Germans tend to have better dealer networks than the italians (i've worked for both), so there's a perception that German cars are more reliable, which is just utter nonsense as proven in the video
Funny how the m3 is there and not the Gulia QV, which most made fun of thinking it would have terrible reliability vs German counterparts
True. The question is how many are not sold? Not many I imagine.
@@danielshinerock1526 Also none of Alfa's mainstream models are on the list. But Germany occupies most of this list anyway - which is not a surprise in the slightest, to a professional. It's tragic how Germany went from top quality to bottom quality in 30 years.
Germans were never reliable. Not even 30 years ago. BMW was a shitshow with its constantly breaking steering racks and cooling issues...@@varmastiko2908
Let's all appreciate the lack of Peugeots on this list

Range Rover Sport (Previous Generation) - Score: 34.6/100, common suspension issues, costly engine faults.
SEAT Leon Cupra and Audi A7 (Joint Ninth) - Score: 33.4/100, issues with emission control and cooling systems respectively.

Warranty wise paid out on a clutch!!! Hmmm
"The most unreliable cars with this specific warranty company"

This list would be fairly accurate even in South Africa
With the VAG cars its pretty accurate regardless i fix many of them on a regular basis Mainly DSG Gearbox issues or with 1.6Tdi and some 2.0Tdi cars Bad Turbos,Injectors and DPF problems most of the diesels not even nudging 80,000 Miles with these faults which is pretty bad for a Diesel as i had a Current Model BMW 116D 2020 come in for new Brake Pads and tyres and it was fine and that had 104,000 Miles which i was surprised with .

Good video. Can you also put in the average miles or kilometers travelled by the cars before they got faulty? if possible
Excellent video - please now do the most reliable list! Thanks Matt - you're a ripper!
Such a shame Land Rover failed to resolve the reliability issues,they have been making Ranger Rovers for decades now.
Its such an amazing looking SUV from outside to inside and offers unmatched luxury and offroad capability, if it were reliable,it would be the best vehicle all around
They used to be.
Buisness, they know who’s buying the cars and ways to milk money after the initial payment
Perhaps they’ll get better when they launch the EV version - far less to go wrong. However , I wouldn’t put any money on it.
That's the whole point, it's supposed to work 2 years at most. You buy a new car instead of fixing it, becaus everything starts to tear apart, by design.
mate they have massively improved since Ford left.
Idk what your problem is but todays cars are on a fairly good level
What's the percentage of all cars in the UK which don't have an aftermarket warranty and are not taken account of?
That is a legitimate question. I think that many people who drive cheaper cars that are also cheaper to fix won't waste money on extended warranties.
Especially if the car is a Kia or MG that comes with a seven year warranty.
Hello Car Wao, Pleasedo another one for the most releable hatchbacks please. Am planing to purchase one . Thank you
This is, of course, a commercial for Warrantywise, but holy cow, this is potentially the most important video you guys have ever published. Great collaboration/sponsorship here.
What are the caveats on an aftermarket warranty? Especially with something like an M3 or AMG, could you get a warranty on a tuned vehicle, since that is something a lot of people do once their manufacturer warranty ends.
I don't know about tuning but suspect they would say "no wonder it broke". With Toyota / Lexus you effectively get a ten year warranty from them for free, while VWs is very reasonable price wise.
People have to bear in mind that all these faster spec cars are driven harder than your average “run of the mill car”
Not in relation to their power output. The percentage amount of strain under typical use is what counts. So lower powered cars have to work harder but are still more durable. How can that be then? It's because they are much more simple and simple is more reliable.
Toyota corolla is not there. What a legend
That's because Toyota isn't producing cars but just straight garbage.
I have a E11 Corolla with 23 years and 350.000 kms, never had an issue with it.
Probably will going to last another 23 years 😁
Yes but is just turtle so that why is reliable is like bmw and Mac from 1960
Japanese make quality
@@hassyg4083 they make dull uninspired motors on the whole, where the engines are considerably less stressed and not ragged by their owners (as no car nut buys a corolla or camry). Unlike the german performance models on this list. Its not rocket science. Nothing against the corolla though, mine was solid but so damn dull (had a horrific Avalon though which was the worst car I ever owned). Golf overall the best.
Took out extended warranty on my Golf come in handy twice in last 4 years had a new turbo and a water pump, not bad I’d say both were less than a grand I think
I think some higher performance cars are driven harder than basic toyotas and hondas so they break down more. Also I don't think price should be in the equation as obviously expensive cars cost more to repair. It shout just be if they break a lot or not
To many Audis making the Got Get List 😂. Good stuff keep it up. Are we sure that this man with glasses which looks like Matt is not Ai.
Only one Italian car, but still, people will talk crap about them...

Was hoping to find a positive comment😂just brought a 300st recently so seeing it on this list was worrying😭
@@XXEXETREMEHEROXX Don’t worry. I say buy the car you want and maintain n repair it. That’s what I do. Otherwise you’ve got a car you don’t really want, and you’re still maintaining and repairing it…
I'm old enough to remember fanatics of all these brands making fun of Peugeots and Citroeans. How times have changed 😂
"German cars are reliable" 😂
This list isn't for the most unreliable cars, it's the cost to repairs, which is a different thing. A cheap car could have far more faults constantly but because the parts are cheap, it wouldn't make this list.
Sort of, it's more like cost x frequency of faults. Maybe it would have been better if the cost of the faults was divided by the cost of the car itself? This would normalise the cost of repairs, and not weight against the expensive cars so much.
This should be top comment
No, warranty wise make a balanced score between frequency of faults as well as their cost. You can't just take # of faults and ignore costs, that's silly.
Not only that, it only covers cars where the owner took an extended warranty... Mostly done for expensive cars.
@@xIcarus227 Ofcourse you can and should lol, the video is about reliability not about costs... A car that breaks down 50 times but costs only 200 to repair each time is way less reliable than a car that breaks down 2 times and costs 2k each time.
Found this really helpful
Is there a longer list somewhere
My 2002 Subaru WRX has now done more than 110,000 miles the only thing that's let me down since I brought it in 2005 was the water pump over a year ago. The clock on the dash board has stopped but it looks like it's only the light bulb.
horrible
Agree, Audi's are crap. My has already more than 4 months in the shop being repaired due to engine problem
as for American suv’s what is reliability rate for the dodge durango?
My RR SVR had a bottom end problem and they called out mechanic and he told me it would be 20k for new engine not including extras. Luckily I still have main dealer warranty.
These guys need Toyota lessons 🫠
U.K. Toyotas effectively get a ten year warranty for free.
Toyota also have their problems.
But just small easy to fix “problems” i had two brand new BMW’s and both had so many issues, my GR Yaris after 40k km and many trackdays and roadtrips to italy has absolutely zero issues. I don’t know anyone with a toyota who has issues.
How are some of these costs so high? Some garages not diagnosing properly and just throwing parts at the cars.
I know right? I can't fathom how an engine issue can cost 32k when it takes not even half that price to replace the entire engine.
Cars aren’t designed to be worked on or maintained, so many little things require a massive amount of time removing parts to gain access.
@@xIcarus227 s55 engine aint cheap
@@hassyg4083 it ain't 32k either, not even close.
That would no surprise me! Many garages have been doing that forever!
How the grading system works,??
I have a 2018 rr vogue last few years had no issues at all..
No Japanese car?
Very strange😂
This is a National video not international....Weird af
Conclusion: the more complex, sporty, luxurious, powerful and expensive is your car, the more likely less reliable it is !
Conclusion: Just pick Japanese cars, period.
Cupra: Are you talking about me?
quick, reliable or cheap? you can only pick two. Can't have all three in one car
@@user-mp3eh8fk8qyeahh, no.
Conclusion: most German cars will burn you.
Well, I don't know if they've fixed the gearbox issue on the new one, but I'm already getting gearbox warning on my new RS3, and it's an unfathomable problem. It would only trigger when I'm using horn under heavy braking, for example, getting cut off by other drivers on the road. Other than the warning, the car drives fine.
Can you do the listing of the cars with their brands respectively
Example Each video with one brand listing like this
I Don't Think VW will give Carwow Anymore Cars 😂
The same way Mazda isn’t giving Carwow cars😂
No actually VWs on the list that petrol heads use on the list though
VW gave him Audi loaner
AVOID any car from Birmingham
And Bradford/generally the midlands. Luton too.
@@nexus8516no not all the midlands we aren’t all bad
@@TherealSoldier_boy yeah maybe a bit unfair, just a lot of the major cities. Leicester too.
Yeah. Birmingham cars are awful. Burned twice and only got two cars there 😂
Any car from Britain, sorry to say. I love many of the older ones but none were ever great quality.
Thank you Matt for that video! If you yourself had to choose the most reliable makes and models of cars. Your top 10. What would you choose?
Matt, can you change the tumbnail picture to land cruiser 79 series?
As an Audi fan this hurt - especially given I've owned several RS cars and never, ever had an issue with them. Damn do I miss my '08 RS4...
It's a statistical thing. Most people share your trouble free experiences or close to it. Automobiles, across the board, are so reliable now that it doesn't take many "problem cars" to create a pretty dark mark on a models cumulative record.
No French cars on the list?! How the tables have turned …
Or Alfas or Fiats… what dimensions is this
I mean.. the list contains several high end cars. Audi RS models, expensive Tesla models, range/land rovers.. - I don't think this warranty company quite has the clientele that drives around in French cheap cars.
it's like an Audi garage saying that Audi is unreliable because they constantly have Audi's in their Audi garage.. and that BMW is the most reliable car, because they never see a BMW in their Audi garage for repairs.. they can't really make these claims as they don't deal with ALL brands and price ranges equally.
+ the list contains or is based on repair costs.. which will be higher on these models vs French models.
@@PilotPhteven Not true, this list is their “Least reliable” data. The Most reliable list is dominated by smaller Japanese cars, the Yaris at #1, Suzuki Swift at #2…. The Peugeot 107 comes in at #9.
No single German car is on that list LOL.
Yep I remember when French cars were always at the bottom of satisfaction surveys. The Germans always occupy that space now.
Because they are to cheap
I was wondering I was thinking to get BMW x1 m sport how reliable r they'?
Hi carwow! I just wanna ask one question, why don’t you use Lexus IS 500 F sport performance in the races? Can you fix that? Thank you
And THIS is why I own/drive a Toyota Camry (2011), 62,000 miles. Zero issues. I do my own maintenance. (Yes, I drained + refilled the tranny earlier as well as a 'multi drain+refill' of the cooling system.)
Phew, I was just about to ask you whether you had drained + refilled the tranny earlier as well as a 'multi drain+refill' of the cooling system. Looks like I didn't have to worry.
@vinnyd91 Yep, you SHOULD drain+refill the tranny around 50K miles, and every 20K or so afterwards. If you leave it too late (i.e. 100K) then your 'window of opportunity' has passed and now you have to leave it alone. FWIW, the drained fluid was a 'dark sherry' color, not bright red.
I don't really believe in 'lifetime fluids'.
The coolant was visibly in good condition, but the PH was off so I'm glad I changed it.
I own a 2018 camry very happy
That is a cheap plastic boc on wheels tho😂
@@v-klasse9448 All cars are plastic boxes nowadays. Some, however, are reliable.
Three letters BMW
Only 2 BMWs?
@@daftcow706 what did you expected 10 😂 yeah 2 but very high on the list
I guess I had the same issue as that Range Rover Sport that you mentioned. Mine was a 2016. Spent $2300 to fix the suspension and 2 weeks later the engine blew going to a funeral. Estimated cost from a non dealer was $24K. Car was valued at $27K. Got a mechanic to buy it for $7K so he can play with it.
i can hear the BMW check engine alarm from this video
The M3/4 S55 engine uses Mitsubishi TD04 turbos common for passing oil past the seals.
*People don't understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments don't match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that*
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I was going solo, but it wasn't working. I've been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.

I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommend Mr David Mark. I met him at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
Who else has noticed that in this list there is no Toyota in the list?.. watching from Kenya, Africa
U.K. Toyotas effectively get a ten year warranty for free.
Dangit... I was looking for an Audi a7 c7 (i would have loved the rs7c7 but I'm poor😂) after the facelift, exactly from 2014 to 2017... And the two options are the 2.0tfsi, which apparently is only fwd, Or the 3.0tdi quattro. Both around 250hp. And of course i want the quattro traction system...
is it that bad? Or is it a nice ride to have?
So it doesn't mean, more you pay for the car the more reliable it is.
It only means that you pay more for repairs.
That is true only for a few japenese brands I think
Never has been, you just pay a lot more for parts and labour with the parts never worth the much higher charges made as no higher quality within any of them.
You pay more for ride quality, sound proofing, handling, acceleration, technology, interior quality, design and features. However, in turn, this drives up purchase costs, repair costs, and depreciation. In short, a more complex thing is more difficult to maintain than a simple thing.
There are a couple sweet spots even in luxury brands though if you do your research.
@@Luminary2024talk about teach your grandma to suck eggs
As Clarkson once said, "Meryl Streep is a great actress, but then she goes and appears in Mama Mia, the worst film ever made". 😂 which means, just because it's unreliable, doesn't mean it's bad
Unless all you want is a reliable car
No. those extra costs are definitely bad
I'm sorry. That doesn't make sense. If a vehicle is not reliable, it might not be able to fulfill its primary function of tacking you from point A to point B. If it has issues doing that, it's a bad car.
German cars are bad they cheap out on quality
only when people talk about italian cars this doesn't work,,cause people is so bias!
The next list should contain the 50 most reliable cars. This way we can see some good cars on the list, and not just a bunch of cheap crap!
