THE least reliable cars in the UK have been revealed after a study of MOT data in Britain.
The study looked at MOT data since 2020 to find the models that fail most and the car parts that most commonly cause it.

The study, conducted by the Bill Plant Driving School, found that around 40% of cars in the UK fail their first MOT.
The new research reveals the most unreliable vehicles to get on the road – with one car model returning just a 53.31% MOT pass rate.
That car was the Renault Megane, closely followed by the Fiat Punto and Renault Clio.
The rest of the top 10 most unreliable cars based on MOT fail data looked like this.
