Mileage is not a great indicator of engine wear as far as I'm concerned Cars must be equipped with an hour meter motor as most machines This information is probably available via the ECU car A car can make 3gazillion miles downhill with the wind behind her in seventh gear with the engine idling smoothly 250rpm engine wear will be very slow.
The big picture I was working in the BMC for 10 years in quality control has seen so much of the British build quality How many British high volume car companies left NIL German How Audi Opel Volkswagen BMW Mercedes Porsche Before you get into that about Lotus etc. I am not including the 17 miners as German manufacturers Maybach intelligent man and so the Germans are deeply in love transport wheel with 4 preloaded on it that includes quality Unlike the allemands- British pay for quality always in recent years on the autobahn go one day and attend supercars Audi and BMW at 240 K and much faster- a different world no wonder that the Chinese can not get enough of German cars.

I do not know the exact details, but German automakers seem to be protected by law in Germany, I heard It can also help them succeed.
A car driving in everyday urban environment will not last as long as a permanent car driving on the highway.
These guarantee companies generally provide cars of 3 to 10 years.
If you are in the market for vehicle age and the forums are a good indication of potential problems buying a whole series K and not knowing the issues must live in a bubble Or do they know this and take one of the known issues guarantee engines are pretty well documented online.
If I'd bought a vehicle and discovered he had a potential problem then I would buy a warranty This in itself can tighten the numbers.
Each high-volume car company has been assisted by the government egJapanese French English German Italian Spanish Russian Swedish course British etc etc.
No politically-illegal-hidden-essential massive subsidies State the global auto industry would collapse.
WOOPS missed the new kid on the massive block in China.
Back to the main thread being a race car builder for many years the way back, I know a little reliability Unfortunately, most of my knowledge has been made obsolete by the introduction of electronic fragility of wiring harnesses and connectors beam built up a minimum price If you read car son, eg BMW Audi Volvo only because these are the types I owned you see time and time again easy to deal with quality defects - all the vehicles -modernes have weaknesses on which vehicle chosen This is very easy what is the harshest environment on earth regularly used by the desert man Nulaboor what are the top two vehicles Nissan Patrol and Toyota land Cruiser order known crazies jeans would place there you have unfortunately not there at Landies unreliable.
But are they too specifications for a normal household would have a less robust vehicle with better functioning cheaper cost less environmental impact, etc. Joan choice for Joe Public in horses in the UK for courses, really Gellyneck Published by January 19, 2013 - December 46 hours.

Now no good if you 25k miles per year highway to get too and from work.
Then you need something something modern and efficient, reliable and safe which is aerodynamic and happy to cruise at highway speeds and this means something new which must comply with the new legislation.
The classics are toys, I recently sold a 1996 Mk2A Landy, but as an everyday vehicle, not on your life.

Not really sure what it adds to the discussion of the reliability point I was trying to make is that yes the two vehicles that you mention may be able to operate in extreme climatic conditions, but are they the most option viable for general use roads in a domestic situation in the UK is it a vehicle for this type of use must be designed as such or are more appropriate compromise.
I like to know the age of the cars in the investigation They are obviously including MG Rover and the infamous K series engine for him to come last and MG Rover went into administration in 2005 so that we are looking on car 8 years.
The Performance VW Audi Group will be 95 to 2 0litre 140,170 diesel injectors with PD This legacy still costing millions VAG in the claims, I would not advise anyone to buy a car with the engine 2 0PD.
BMW has also had major problems with the 2 0 diesel from 2001 to 2006, not full engine failures, but problems of turbo and injection depends on how they are Classing Engine Failure When they introduced double-VANOS variable valve timing six cylinders, there were problems, but that's about cars twelve years or more.
While Toyota and Honda have good reliability, they were not at the front of the engine technology, they are themselves in common rail when it was in it's second and third generation avoided the first to miss win and they avoided the high torque output high direct injection 200bhp Mini oils as June 1 s I guess if you push the engine technology and putting on the market, you run the risk of being caught saying VAG s 2 0PD was an underdeveloped rushed to junk that should never have been released VAG rushed out because of the common rail competition has been defeated former 8V September 1 PD s.
I see more stopped on the road Renaults VAG vehicles.

Sorry beg to differ there, we have an old Opel Astra decade, the oil is changed every 12 months even when the city is now only 35,000 and the car only about 2,500 a year, if you change the oil regularly save all the great songs that go up and down and around and around, however its not usually large pieces that wear its all ancillaries such as alternator, water pump, starter motor and so on you get with high mileage vehicles If you have had a new car, you know how it's been treated, when the oil was changed when it was repaired, etc. We will keep the Astra probuably for ten years and I bet he gives no problem when I change my discovery in the next year will be the lowest mileage I can find, but I'll get a car that had a private owner preferably an elderly person or a woman, but most of all I look upon where they lived, whether they live in a town then its a no, because this low mileage will crawl along a maximum of 30 very weak people mileage vehicles found to be yes, they can, my club had 51,000 on it when I bought it and I knew he had come and he had been treated, it is still okay to 76000 and I trust to well over 100,000 without all the great expect to pay a little more for low miles but check the history of the service and the type of person you are buying.
Reliability very simple, really The two most reliable vehicles on earth are --- the Toyota Landcruiser Nissan Patrol Onwards Now we add to give the paper tray each day Nope Take the kids to school somewhere on the moors Yorkshire - absolutely 2 feet of snow - absolutely Downsides-as always - very very expensive pieces 4 drive shafts 2 diffs vehicle complex so by hard work on not a good cleaning may be reading DIY son large Beemers and Audis are designed to cross Europe ECE one day by the day's horses for courses that I will drive several Smarts used to be the only of its kind IE city car, but the suspension is hard its not funny brick on the highway Superb noisy speed to get into small underground spaces- latest engines are very reliable- I got 65 MPG on me last year - absolutely not u not without family car boot space.
Glad you agree with my horses for courses you do have mentioned any other Toyota or any other brand in the Far East excluding Pathfinder regarding reliability is surprising would he wait until be a few that highly reliable floorboards cost issues come out.
Gellyneck For a given for this purpose to keep going at all times in its Japanese I see JC used a Toyota Hilux Iceland You may notice runners boy with little help turbo money Jap cars like the Subaru and Nissan ago excellent reason that these car engines are heavily in engineering and a piston aircraft engine if you build massive strength and use less power you get maximum reliability This is reflected as usual in high residual, so if you want the most reliable used car for a given purpose just to read Parkers Guide-cars with the highest residues are the best to buy a general course, those who bought the Mercedes turkeys when accounting ran the company shout the price and quality are not related Oh Mercedes has really laboriously hoisted back to being Lexus equal to BMW and Audi, but in the eye of public opinion, it is just equal to the then old like me Mercedes were a cut above the rest, not more.
You get VAG cars used as taxis who Starship miles on them, but they are hunted and perfect maintenance.

Yes, but at 250rpm the won mph t very well I would always go for a car low mileage myself, my xtrail about 24K miles runs like a new car, even 4 years So why buy a car with 50K miles.
I just changes cars because I like change and improve what I already had.
My mother has changed her car, was the former property of the old Merc 500SL, less than 30,000 miles of new 9 years he never let down its wise running, the roof mechanism had a problem once but was repaired diy the only other thing to have replaced another that was scheduled cats because of their rattling They were presumed to have collapsed to have short trips for most of his life before the car who was a E320 cab 1992 never problems and was higher milage laws by keeping two clean green oval, the rr vogue was suspended burst a few years now, and FL2 is fairly new having replaced the SL.
My father in recent years has had a few cars, was September 2 kia sedona most reliable Less is its current xtrail Although this is due to a known defect which has been classified under warranty.
Over the past 15 years, I have also had several cars, the only faliures were failiure of the oil pump on a former motor racing series At 32 A Conrod snapped a Ford cvh which was granted and used for drag racing and the worst was blown diff on my old mondeo which happend unexpectedly.
Again this thread is the one that published figures or statements have a status bit differently We all car, at various garages service using different rooms etc, some of us can not even hold to all service schedules.

There was a change if one 9TDi engine with direct injection was absolutely reliable and was born really the Passat and the Octavia taxi Even when 1 9PD engine came out a few years later, it was more complex but still very reliable when the production moved to the PD 2 0 16v it soon became evident that it was a dog of an engine early pump failures and failures of the balance shaft later in the engines of injection flaws life has become the major problem it really VAG and Skoda's reputation badly actually fired their taxi system off the market the new VAG CR engines have proven to be reliable, but there is still no proof that the bullet reputation VAG once had.
