Small cars are often bought in an effort
to keep costs down but any plan to save on running costs through good fuel
economy and cheap insurance will soon be scuppered if the car is unreliable.
What you need for really cost-effective motoring is a reliable small car and
we’ve got the 10 most reliable small cars on sale for you right here.
Our Driver Power customer satisfaction survey is where you
can tell us all about the car you own - good and bad. Thousands of motorists do
so every year and the result is an invaluable resource for anyone looking at
buying a car today. The most reliable small cars data is taken from models that
are in their first year of ownership and if issues are presenting themselves in
the first 12 months it doesn’t bode well for the longer term.
The small
cars included are drawn from the city car, supermini, small SUV and small MPV
sectors and we’re looking at the scores owners provided for general reliability
and build quality as well as details of what kind of faults had occurred. Below
you’ll find the top 10 most reliable models in descending order. So for your
best chance for worry-free motoring on a tight budget, scroll down the page to
find out what is the most reliable small car.
1. Volvo XC40 - 98.00%
- Model:
Mk1 (2018-present)
- Has it ever gone wrong? 15.9%
And so to
our winner or rather, your winner. The Volvo XC40 is the most reliable new small car to buy
in 2020, according to UK car owners. The XC40 is at the larger end of this
class but there are no question marks against its shining 98% reliability score
that actually makes it the top ranked car for reliability of any size in the
whole survey.
Interestingly,
a relatively high 15.9% of people did have an issue with the car but these seem
to have been minor electrical faults that didn’t dent the XC40’s overall score.
The car also finished in 14th place in Driver Power 2020 overall, underlining
its strength across the board.
