Skoda has come out tops in the new UK Vehicle Dependability Study produced by industry experts JD Power.

The study saw owners provide feedback on their new cars, reporting on problems from breakdowns to in-car entertainment gremlins, with Skoda outscoring even luxury brands to take the coveted dependability crown.

Focusing on cars registered between April 2012 and March last year, the study scored manufacturers in descending order with Skoda’s points score of 77 well below the industry average of 114.

Skoda UK’s Alasdair Stewart, said: “This result perfectly illustrates Skoda’s passion for delivering quality and dependability. As this study shows, our build quality is the envy of the industry, and I’m delighted that this has been recognised. We’re always striving to improve quality and reliability, and we hope that this will be repeated in future studies.”
