Fleet News asked leasing companies to consider the brands and cars they had on fleet over the previous 12 months as part of the research into this year's FN50 report and list the most reliable ones.
This was based on the average number of days off the road with unplanned mechanical problems (but not including punctures).
And the BMW 3 Series has retained its place as the most reliable car for second year running. The Munich brand also keeps its title as the most reliable manufacturer overall. It remains undefeated for eight years.
