These cars don't break down. Czech data from half a million inspections revealed an unexpected ranking.

In the Czech Republic, four-year-old cars must undergo their first technical inspection, with only 2.5% failing. The analysis reveals significant disparities in performance among different models. The Suzuki Ignis stands out with a failure rate of less than 0.5%, while the Dacia Lodgy has a failure rate exceeding 6%. The study, based on data from over 523,000 inspections, highlights common issues such as lighting and suspension problems. The ranking considers mileage to ensure fairness, with the Ignis leading due to its lower serious defect rate compared to its mileage. Other top performers include the Volkswagen Touareg and Mercedes-Benz GLC, with Škoda models also performing well.
