I’d rather not say because I don’t keep statistics, so what I told you would be an impression rather than a concrete fact.
Your best source of this information is www.reliabilityindex.co.uk which lists statistics compiled by Warranty Direct for cars more than three years old on which it has met warranty claims, so it covers both the frequency of claims and the cost of claims to arrive as an index.
