Disabled motorists can benefit from added peace of mind by choosing a car that has been hailed for its reliability in a recent WhatCar? Reliability Survey.
Eight of the top 10 most reliable city cars are available from Motability, the car scheme for disabled people, including the top three – the Suzuki Alto, Toyota Aygo and Kia Picanto – all from no Advance Payment, which means no up-front additional costs to pay.
WhatCar? and Warranty Direct teamed up to carry out the survey and create the ‘Reliability Index’ – a way to score cars based on factors such as the number of times a car breaks down, the average repair cost and the average repair time.
Nine of the top 10 most reliable superminis are also available through Motability, again, all from no Advance Payment. The compact Vauxhall Agila, spacious Skoda Fabia and practical Honda Jazz took the top three spots in this category.
People who receive the Higher Rate Mobility Component of the Disability Living Allowance or the War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement, can exchange this weekly payment to lease a new car, scooter or powered wheelchair through Motability. Insurance, maintenance, servicing and breakdown assistance are also included in the lease.
Further highlights from the survey include Motability cars suited to small families, such as the Toyota Auris, which came in third and the Mazda3.
Mike Betts the chief executive of Motability Operations said: “For many of our customers, the reliability of a vehicle is one of the main areas of consideration when looking for a new car. Research like this is very useful to both us and our customers and it’s great to see that Motability offers such a variety of those highlighted in these categories. We strive to make a wide choice of cars available to our customers to ensure that they are able to get the right vehicle for their needs.”
