New data from Warranty Solutions Group shows Land Rover has become the United Kingdom’s least reliable brand. The marque’s warranty claim rate reached 36.47 percent, and the average repair comes to a record £1,020 (120,000 rubles). The most frequent issues involve power windows, sensors, and diesel particulate filters.Jaguar doesn’t fare much better, taking the penultimate spot with a 25.5 percent fault rate and an average bill of £826 (almost 90,000 rubles). Mercedes-Benz completes the bottom three. Among high-volume brands, Citroën, Peugeot, and Vauxhall turned in the weakest results.At the opposite end, Japanese companies lead with confidence: Toyota posts the fewest claims at 7 percent, followed by Honda and Mazda. Kia and Hyundai also make the reliability short list. Fiat proves the cheapest to fix at just £461 on average.Taken together, the figures work as a clear caution: premium badges often prioritise technology and comfort over staying power. At the same time, Toyota and other Japanese manufacturers demonstrate that innovation and durability can happily coexist. For buyers, the takeaway is straightforward—brand prestige doesn’t always guarantee peace behind the wheel, and repair costs tend to cut through the marketing gloss.
