The Toyota Yaris is ranked as the most reliable used car from the 2024 report (using data from 2020-23) according to the latest figures released in Warrantywise’s annual Reliability Index today.
Warrantywise, the UK’s leading used car warranty provider, today reveals the results from its highly anticipated annual Reliability Index as it declares the Toyota Yaris as the most reliable used car in the UK. Now on its fourth generation, having first been released in 1999, the Toyota Yaris proves to be the most reliable used car in Warrantywise’s 2024 report (using data from 2020 – 2023), securing the top spot with minimal repair costs and maximum reliability, scoring an impressive 89.0/100*.
Recognised for its consistent performance and reliability, the Toyota Yaris earns its place at the top of this year’s Index for reliability and durability, reflecting Toyota’s longstanding commitment to rigorous manufacturing quality control measures. With an average repair request amount (cost recorded between 1 January 2020 and 30 September 2023**) of £604.50, the model’s widespread popularity also means there is a wealth of available information.
With Toyota appearing four times in the top ten league table, as the Auris, Aygo and Hilux all feature within the most reliable models from the Reliability Index, the Japanese car manufacturer further establishes itself as a company renowned for its build quality, engineering reliability, and durability.
