Research findings have revealed that BMW has come up trumps for reliability.

The results came about as a result of data obtained regarding the UK’s 50 largest car leasing firms by Fleet News and Grant Thornton.

Stephen Briers, editor of Fleet News, said: "This is one of the largest vehicle reliability surveys of its kind and it reviews a market where cars are subjected to some of the most testing conditions they will ever face on the road."

Respondents at the leasing companies were asked to measure the cars’ reliability based upon how many breakdowns occurred on the models in their range.

He added that any make of car that made it in the list could consider it as being a significant result and was said to be down only to the efforts by manufacturers to make their vehicles withstand the conditions of the roads.

BMW came top with its 3 Series (2nd), BMW 5 Series (5th) and MINI (8th). Other vehicles in the brand’s range include the M3 and X5.

In total the survey covered 840,000 vehicles.
