If earlier manufacturers made cars with units that could roll under a million kilometers without any problems, then the modern automotive industry has long since turned into a disposable car. Although there are vehicles that annoy their owners with breakdowns less often than others. Let’s talk about them…

Unexpectedly, the most reliable foreign cars turned out to be models of Korean brands and, as expected, Japanese ones. Avtoteka specialists analyzed the statistics of 10-year-old car repairs registered in 2022 and shared the results of the study with us. In addition, the audit looked at cars of an exclusive mass segment. And you will be surprised – among them there were even “Chinese”. Have the models of “heavenly” brands also learned to be made with reliability in mind? At least that’s what the guys from China think. However, judge for yourself. And don’t judge strictly…

Kia Optima became the undisputed leader among foreign cars least likely to enter technical centers with a breakdown in 2022. Even taxi drivers now doubted the above: it’s hard to believe, but it’s a fact. Reports on the repair of these machines speak for themselves. True, it is possible that car owners repair a Korean passenger car themselves or drive it to trusted garage specialists.

By the way, a few months ago Asians announced a recall of more than 250,000 Kia Optima cars produced between 2011 and 2013. The reason for the service campaign was metal plates poorly fixed in the ceiling of the car, which play the role of an energy-absorbing structure. Because of them, there is a risk of injury in the event of an accident. However, that’s not the point: let’s move on…

Daewoo Matiz and Daewoo Nexia occupy second and third place. Yes, they are still alive! Let’s say more: that pizza or burger you ate the day before was delivered to you by a courier in just one of these cars. Yet they are more reliable than a bicycle…

You will be even more surprised by the fourth and fifth positions in the ranking of foreign cars least likely to enter car services. We are talking about the dubious Chinese crossovers Lifan X60 and Chery Tiggo with the T11 index. It seems that they are being repaired in the yard of their own house with the help of a sledgehammer and a strong Russian word. Although it must be admitted, even with proper maintenance, driving these cars is not very safe. But if you are not afraid of the misalignment of the steering and suspensions, the lack of power and brakes, then go ahead, as they say, with a song!

The sixth place was taken by the Korean Hyundai Tucson and the seventh by SsangYong Actyon. And only on the eighth line did the “Japanese” appear, and this is by no means a Toyota RAV4, but a twin cousin of the French-Russian Renault Duster, the Nissan Terrano all-terrain vehicle. This is followed by the Kia Sportage and the top 10 least repaired cars in 2022 is crowned by the Russian-Japanese Datsun on-DO. Probably, the latter is “shamed” in the same place as the “Chinese” …

By the way, the AvtoVzglyad portal also listed the most persistent cars, which – you will not believe! – you can buy today even for 100,000 rubles. And this is not LADA at all. Read more here.
