Leading automotive remanufacturer BBA Reman has revealed the top 10 cars most likely to suffer from electronic component failure.
Compiled using customer data of previous repairs, the research outlines exactly which parts are most likely to be the cause of electrical faults and which makes and models are most likely to suffer them.
Chris Swan, founder of BBA Reman, had this to say about the top 10 list: "This research has been compiled using the 20 years of experience we have of helping to provide motorists with an affordable and reliable alternative to buying electronic car parts.
"The top 10, which features cars designed and manufactured all over the world, are not in any way bad or unsafe cars to own; they are simply the models that we have worked on most frequently and we wanted to make our customers aware of this.
"It's also good for customers with these cars to know that remanufacturing is an option if one of these faults crops up, to save them having to have the parts replaced."
