The British publication What Car compiled a reliability rating of used cars. The list includes 50 models of used cars from 2013 to today. Strangely enough, among the most reliable cars (up to 8 years old) are both premium and budget models.

According to the authors of the rating, the times are long gone when the price indirectly indicated the “endurance” of a car. The list was compiled based on a survey of more than 13,000 car owners.
