The Most Unreliable Car Ever

This car, aptly named 'Monster' is made up of parts from some of the most unreliable cars on sale in Britain including Renault Megane and MG TF. 

The Monster Mk1 was created using the UK-based warranty company - Warranty Direct's -database of 50,000 policies on cars that were an average of five years old.

Here is the breakdown of the parts used on the car:

Engine - MG TF Engine

Renault Megane - Electrics

Gearbox - Land Rover Freelander

Suspension - BMW M3

Brakes - Audio A8

Air Con / Heating / Cooling - Seat

Steering - Volvo V70

And here is the result...

The reason this vehicle has been named 'Monster' is because according to Warranty Direct, this car is likely to break down every other month and cost an average of £2,050 to fix each year. Warranty Direct compiled the list of the worst-performing cars in various categories from its data of what cars suffer which faults and which parts are normally to blame. Warranty Direct says that 'monster' is five times more likely to break down than the average car based on their reliability index which measures car reliability by considering the average cost of repair, frequency of failure, age and mileage.

Overall, the index shows that 4 out of 10 vehicles require a trip to a garage each year and some models can cost up to £7,000 a time to repair. 

Duncan McClure Fisher, the Managing Director at Warranty Direct said that "The wide range of cars included in our special blend highlights how mostly reliable cars can be dragged down by one problem part."

Results from the company's claim records show that almost 40 per cent of BMW M3s require repairs to axle and suspension components alone each year, while the same proportion of Renault Meganes suffer an electrical fault.

About a quarter of MG TF's will experience engine troubles, while more than one in eight Seat Ahlambras will need their air-con fixed during a typical year. One in five Land Rover Freelanders have transmission glitches, while the same number of Audi A8s will need repairs to their braking systems.
