The most reliable used cars. Rating and anti-rating. Rating of the most reliable used cars 10 reliable cars

Buying a used car is always a big risk: it is impossible to know reliably how it was used, what parts were installed by the previous owner and where the car was serviced. Of course, each car is an individual case, but we still turn to statistics, choosing the 10 most reliable cars over 10 years old using the rating of the German expert organization TUV.

10th place - Audi A2

There is practically no steel part in the body of this car. On the one hand, this is very good - a solid gain in weight. The car turned out to be light (895 kg) and economical. In addition, aluminum does not rust, and elements made of this metal absorb impact energy well. But there is also a downside - body repair: not a single "garage" will be able to qualitatively restore the aluminum body of the Audi A2, however, most service stations cannot do this either - on each body there are 1800 rivets, 17 meters of MIG welds (Maschinelles Inertgas-Schweissen , "automatic inert gas welding") and 30 meters of laser welding. Among the inconveniences, one can also note the low ground clearance and a small trunk - only 390 liters.

But, if you still decide to buy, take a car with diesel engine, preferably with a volume of 1.4 liters. On the combined cycle, it consumes just 4.2 l / 100 km. The petrol 1.6 FSI is capricious and demanding on fuel.

The price of a 10-11-year-old A2 in Belarus is $ 9-10 thousand.

9th place - Volkswagen Golf

Volkswagen Golf IV needs no introduction: solid reliable car, which does not present big surprises to its owner. The most common and most reliable engines are an 8-valve 1.6-liter with 100 hp. and a 105-horsepower variant with 16 valves. They can cover more than 300 thousand km without any problems. The main thing is not to forget to service it in time, monitor the amount of oil and not overheat the engine.

Antifreeze leakage from cracked plastic pipes of the cooling system and the thermostat housing is a "disease" of this model, which refers to minor inconveniences.

There are no special problems either: it happens that the motor of the rear "wiper" breaks down, the trapezium of the front wiper may sour, the brake light switch located in the pedal assembly may still fail. The suspension of the car is simple: in the front "MacPherson", in the back, in front-wheel drive versions, a simple H-shaped beam, in all-wheel drive - a multi-link. The service life of the undercarriage directly depends on the speed of passage of the pits.

The price in Belarus for a 10-11-year-old Golf is $ 7-10 thousand.

8th place - Suzuki Jimny

Baby Jimny is not as simple as it seems - this is a real frame rogue that will easily give odds to many SUVs. The design of the jeep is extremely simple: a ladder-type frame made of a closed welded profile with tubular cross-members, continuous bridges, two-stage transfer case, which is connected to a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed through an intermediate cardan shaft, reliable three-link spring suspension.

The car body is thoroughly phosphated, protected from mechanical damage by plastic shields on all sides, and the bottom is covered with anti-gravel.

The design of the car is very solid: the suspension will not disturb the owner of 150 thousand kilometers.

As for the engine, after 2001, a 1298 cc unit is installed on the car. cm, with a capacity of 80 hp. - almost eternal, it will easily cover 300 thousand km without major repairs.

The price of a 10-11-year-old Jimny is $ 7-10 thousand.

7th place - Mazda MX-5

From a Belarusian point of view, this car is very impractical: a tiny glove compartment, a small luggage compartment which holds two small bags. In addition, the contents of the trunk are easily heated from a nearby exhaust pipe... But this is a car for one or two people who have a minimum of luggage and problems. The simplest and most reliable in the engine range is a 1.6-liter engine, but there will be no special dynamics with it: it accelerates to the first "hundred" in 10.6 seconds. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the 1.8 turbo and 2.0 liter engines.

Since the start of production, the Mazda MX-5 has been awarded more than 170 awards and titles, and has sold 870,000 copies. The car is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the best-selling 2-seater sports car.

6th place - Toyota Avensis

It is expensive, it loses in price slowly - such a wording can be supplied to almost any model under the Toyota brand. And Avensis is no exception. The car practically does not rust if it has not been in an accident, the electrical equipment is reliable, and the motors are durable, but not all.

There are certain complaints about the 1.8-liter engine of the 1ZZ-F series, which suffers from insufficient oil drainage and ineffective piston crown cooling. As a result oil scraper rings these motors lose their mobility in the piston groove even at low mileage. If you start the process, the car will "please" with an oil consumption of about 1 l / 1000 km, as well as increased noise in operation. The cure is known: piston replacement and piston rings or replacement of the "short block" assembly.

Diesel operators should be warned against buying an Avensis equipped with a 2.2-liter Clean Power diesel engine, which is very demanding on the quality of diesel fuel.

Transmissions - both automatic and "mechanics" - can boast of a huge resource, what can I say, even if the manual transmission clutch can last all 200 thousand km.

As for the suspension, it is not uncommon for buyers of used Avensis with a mileage of more than 120 thousand km to receive a car with all the native suspension elements.

The price of a 10-11-year-old Toyota Avensis is $ 7-13 thousand.

5th place - Toyota Yaris

Not the most popular car in our country - it costs almost like a Corolla, and is much smaller in size. However, passengers even on rear seats quite comfortable: all thanks to a little trick - the ability to adjust the second row of seats in length. True, if two tall adults sit in the back, the trunk will decrease to an obscenely small size - 205 liters. All engines, ranging from 1.0 to 1.5 liters, are very reliable. In a car with a mileage of 100 thousand km, there will be no questions to the engine, after 200 thousand km you will only change the timing chain.

There are no complaints about the 5-speed manual transmission, even the clutch changes after 200 thousand km, but its brother is mechanical box with an automatic clutch release system called Freetronic - not happy with reliability, thinks for a long time and often jerks the car. It is best to take a car with a 4-speed automatic, but such cars are quite rare - they were produced only for the American and Japanese markets.

Well, in the Yaris suspension with a mileage of 100 thousand km, as a rule, nothing needs to be changed.

The price of a 10-11-year-old Toyota Yaris is $ 6-8 thousand.

4th place - Toyota Corolla [^]

Ninth generation Toyota Corolla- not those million-strong cars that were before, but the car still pleases with its reliability. Interior materials are unexpectedly high quality and even after a run of 100 thousand km are not overwritten.

The engines are still reliable, but with caveats. For motors of the ZZ series increased consumption oils for waste, diesel motors with the D4D mark, they are distinguished by expensive repairs, and the 1.4-liter diesel, on top of that, is afraid of overheating.

The mechanical box has retained its reliability, but the "robot" is no different. Owners of М-МТ should be prepared for an expensive replacement of the electronic control unit, along with which they usually change the clutch.

As a result, against the background of classmates, the car differs only in the absence of problems with the electrics.

The price of a 10-11-year-old Toyota is $ 7-11 thousand.

3rd place - Mercedes-Benz SLK

Not the most correct representative of the Mercedes family - the box pleases with the clarity of gear shifting, just like in BMW, low seating position, good handling. Without knowing that this is a Mercedes-Benz SLK, it is difficult to determine which sports car you are in. However, the interior decoration can hardly be called luxurious, it is restrained in a European way. There are no special problems with spare parts, most of the parts fit from 124, 202, 210 and 140 bodies, the maximum similarity with the 202nd - for example, most of the suspension and even the steering rack.

The price of a 10-11-year-old Mercedes-Benz SLK is $ 11-13 thousand.

2nd place - Toyota RAV4

This car has, probably, only one significant drawback - it is still "female". Although this car has no equal in terms of reliability and unpretentiousness in its class. If "rafik" were even a little more brutal, the male half would have doted on him. As such, there are no claims to the reliability of the car, although especially the "rafiki" of American origin can throw up a lot of reasons for concern. For example, they periodically light up Check Engine, but this does not mean a serious malfunction - all costs, basically, come down to paying for the service station to extinguish the light bulb.

The automatic and rare "mechanics" are also reliable, and the engine itself is often to blame for many automatic transmission problems: the motor control unit is combined with the gearbox control unit, as a result of errors in the engine block affect the operation of the gearbox.

The price of a 10-11-year-old Toyota RAV4 is $ 10-16 thousand.

1st place - Porsche 911

Rare enough in Belarus, the Porsche 911 is one of those cars that you don't buy to take your kids to school or go shopping to the store. The element of such a car is speed, so serious diagnostics before purchasing will not hurt. The body of the sports car has a double electroplating, the metal is used of high quality and durable, the electrician does not cause problems.

According to TUV experts, this is the most problem-free 10-year-old car, but it also has serious malfunctions.

So, the owners must change the candles in a timely manner - if you delay with this procedure, then the engine may malfunction, which will entail high repair costs. There are no complaints about the 6-speed "mechanics", but the 5-speed automatic transmission "Tiptronic" from ZF does not shine with reliability - it will have to be repaired every 50-70 thousand km and is not cheap. The price of a 10-11-year-old Porsche 911 is $ 24-30 thousand. ...

Choosing a used car over 10 years old is always a risk. However, there are many supporters and opponents of buying auto-“pensioners”.

Advantages of the car for 10 years or more

1. Price and condition

The main plus, which is called by lovers of antiquity, is, of course, the price. It is very democratic and in the realities of the modern world with the eternal lack of money, this is a tangible plus. Also, if you try hard and approach the choice very responsibly, you can find a pretty decent car. After all, before the machines were assembled literally by hand and their service life is much longer than that of modern machines, made on the principle of "the more the better." Again, the model is already known, on the market for a long time, all the pros and cons of operation are known. It is worth considering the fact that having bought new car and leaving the salon, it loses up to 20% of its value, turning into a used one, and this is a waste of money, and sometimes not small ones.

2. Experience and skill

In the pluses, you can also write down the fact that on such a car it is best to hone the driving skills of newly-minted car owners and such cars are least of all of interest to hijackers.

Cons of the car 10 or more years

1. Costs and maintenance

Opponents, in contrast, declare that such a car is a constant investment, and not small ones, and, as a result, constant repairs. On a used car, it is easiest to hide traces of damage due to accidents or simply improper operation. If you want to resell such a car, it is unlikely that you will be able to get a good price for it.

2. Image

Again, the image, which nowadays plays an important role. A person arriving at the meeting point in a simple but new car is likely to arouse more sympathy than the owner of a used car.

3. Problems with the body

The car owner will need to constantly focus on chips and scratches, which will appear much faster. Also, parts will often fall off, problems with rusting and body integrity will begin.

4. Travel comfort

The convenience of car operation is reduced due to backlash in the suspension elements, gearboxes and other parts. Soon the car will start to consume more and more fuel and the worn out engine will significantly increase its consumption. Do not forget about the worn-out interior, which greatly affects the comfort of movement.

However, if you adhere to a few rules when buying cars over 10 years old, then all risks can be minimized. For example, study the market for the sale of spare parts for the selected car and specialized sites, diagnose the selected car in the service.

In any case, the choice in favor of a new or 10-year-old car always remains with the future owner of the car.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev approved the security strategy by his order road traffic in the Russian Federation for 2018 - 2024. In the text of the document published on the government's website, "the imperfection of the system for allowing drivers to participate in road traffic (training, examinations, medical criteria)" is classified as a threat to road safety.

Among them, the lack of an effective organizational and legal control mechanism was also named. technical condition vehicles and a significant number of vehicles that do not meet modern safety requirements (currently half of the vehicles have a service life of more than 10 years).

Risks in the field of road traffic include an uncontrolled increase in the population's motorization, a decrease in the average age of drivers, an underestimation of the role of the media and civil society institutions in shaping law-abiding behavior of road users.

In this regard, the strategy speaks of the need to form in the public consciousness "a negative attitude towards traffic offenders and the facts of aggressive behavior on the road, the development of principles of cooperation, mutual trust and mutual assistance between road users."

In accordance with the order of the government, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must, within six months, develop and submit to the government a draft action plan for the implementation of the strategy. "Interfax" .

Shuvalov: death rate on the roads of the Russian Federation by 2030 should be zero

At a meeting with Deputy Prime Ministers, which Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev held on Monday, January 22, First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov said that the death rate on Russian roads by 2024 should not exceed four people per 100 thousand residents. "It is, of course, inhumane to generally say that mortality is allowed, and it is unusual for our documents, such strategic documents. The goal of zero tolerance for road deaths is being introduced by 2030 for the first time," Shuvalov said.

He stressed that it will be possible to achieve these indicators due to the introduction of high modern standards. "That is, to reach high standards European states by 2024, and by 2030 - to try to ensure that the death rate on the roads is zero or aspires to it, "said the First Deputy Prime Minister.

Shuvalov noted that at the moment the death rate on the roads in Russia is 13 people per 100 thousand of the population, which is significantly higher than in European countries: for example, in Denmark this figure is 2.7 people, and in Germany - 3.7.

He cited the statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for 2017 on the situation on the roads: a total of 168,684 accidents were recorded, which is almost 3% less than in 2016; almost 19 thousand deaths, which is 6.5% less than in 2016; 214.4 thousand wounded, which is 3% less than in the previous year.

Recently, the government has taken measures to improve the safety of transportation of minors, restrictions have been implemented for novice drivers (installation of a "young driver" sign), a ban has been introduced for towing and transporting passengers on a motorcycle, and it is mandatory for the driver to use reflective clothing when forced to stop in dark time days or with limited visibility. Responsibility for road owners was established, new solutions for marking at difficult intersections appeared, and the practice of using the Euro protocol in the event of an accident expanded.

Cars over 10 years old - a threat to traffic safety

The road safety strategy adopted by the Russian government calls an increase in the number of vehicles with a service life of more than 10 years as one of the main risks and threats in this area.

"A significant number of vehicles that do not meet modern safety requirements can be classified as threats to road safety," the document says. In particular, now half of the vehicles in Russia have a service life of more than 10 years.

Among other threats, the developers of the strategy called the absence of an effective organizational and legal mechanism for monitoring the technical condition of vehicles.

Recall that talks about the introduction of restrictions on driving cars over a certain age have been conducted in Russia for several years. In 2009, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia proposed to amend the law "On road safety" an amendment prohibiting the operation of passenger cars over 25 years old. This measure, contained in the program for the development of the automotive industry until 2020, which was developed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, was to start operating in 2012.

In 2015, Russia also wanted to introduce deadlines for the operation of vehicles in order to "significantly improve the situation with road safety and the environment on Russian roads." Then it was noted that "the overwhelming majority of vehicles in the Russian Federation are operated beyond the standard service life." Due to the low technical reliability of such vehicles, there is a high probability of road accidents with their participation.

When purchasing a car, a person must understand that during the use of such a vehicle, he will have to bear additional costs. Yes, some of them will be used to purchase fuel, lubricants, but a rather significant amount is usually spent on the purchase of a variety of spare parts. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to such a factor as the reliability of the car.

This parameter is especially important if the purchased car has already been operated earlier, since it is logical that the supported cars are more prone to breakdowns than their new counterparts.

To facilitate the search for models that, even a few years after their active use, do not require serious cash injections, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the rating "The most reliable cars from 5 to 10 years old with mileage", according to reviews of experienced specialists and ordinary car enthusiasts.

TOP-10 best used foreign cars

So how do you find the truly most reliable used cars 5 to 10 years old? The authoritative German organization TUV can help with this, which for a very long period of its existence has specialized in carrying out routine inspection of vehicles and annually compiles a rating of the reliability of automobile models.

If we take cars under the age of 5, then the top five in the reliability rating this year looks like this:

1. Mercedes Benz SLK-Class. The two-door German car is rightfully the best in this category, as its failure rate is only 2.9. By the way, the model is also distinguished by excellent safety, as it is equipped with numerous auxiliary systems, including driver fatigue control, as well as high-performance brakes.
2. Audi A6 / A7. The percentage of faults - 4.2. These models of the famous German foreign car are presented in a wide variety of bodies (sedan, station wagon, coupe), so there is always a car for a certain taste and preferences of a person.
3. Audi TT. The percentage of detected faults is 4.4. Legendary German coupe that has proven its reliability long ago. For example, being a car for the prestigious racing competition of the same name.
4. Audi Q5. Another representative of the Audi concern with a percentage of faults 4.8. Belongs to the class compact crossovers and not without reason is considered a very reliable vehicle.
5. Porsche 911 Carrera. Probably the best sport car mass production, according to not only experts, but also many ordinary car enthusiasts. And the reliability indicator only confirms this: 4.8 is such a percentage of detected problems that TUV finds annually in used models.

TOP-5 of the most reliable models under the age of 10 is as follows:

1. Porsche 911 Carrera. This model takes the first place in this rating and closes the top five of the previous one, which clearly speaks of its excellent reliability indicators. Experienced specialists find on average only 9.9 percent of various problems - this is not a bad thing, given the fact that the older the car, the higher this indicator.
2. Audi TT. Another representative of the previous list. Sports german cars are clearly distinguished by their increased durability. Only 11.5 percent of diagnosed problems.
3. Mazda 2. If in the previous rating all the top positions were taken by models from Germany, then there was a place for the Japanese as well. For example, the Japanese subcompact Mazda 2 pleases only 12.4 percent of the annually detected malfunctions.
4. Mercedes Benz SLK-Class. Probably, this car is one of the best in terms of reliability, as it occupies the top positions not only in this and the previous rating, but also in many others. For example, in the list of cars with an even greater or lesser age of operation.
5. Toyota Auris. Another representative of the Japanese car industry, which belongs to the small class. Not a bad solution for those who care about preserving the family budget and do not want to overpay for repairs.

All articles

Surveys conducted among Russian car enthusiasts show that only one in three buyers of used vehicles prioritizes reliability when choosing a car. Most prefer to be guided by desires and feelings: I wanted to - I bought it! Someone simply proceeds from how much finance they have available. Others look at the vehicles of friends and neighbors when buying. And in vain! A reliable used car will save the owner from frequent calls in service center... This means that the owner will save money, time and nerves.

"Autocode" will tell you which used car is better to buy, based on the degree of its reliability.

What are the criteria for determining the reliability of a used car?

According to experts, reliable used cars must meet the following requirements:

• long service life;
• low frequency of malfunctions;
• affordable service (repair or replacement of parts and components should take place as soon as possible and with the least number of problems);
• good susceptibility to "gray" consumables.

The opinion of the specialists of this company is most interesting to car owners from Russia for three reasons:

• The rating information is collected by independent technical experts, therefore the information obtained in this way is considered the most objective (for example, the British Warranty Direct does this based on reports received from insurance companies, and Consumer Reports from the United States based on information collected from vehicle owners).
• Approximately 10 million used cars between the ages of two and 11 are checked annually
• Most of the brands and models of cars from the TÜV rating are supplied or have been previously supplied to our country, so you can easily buy a used car of the desired modification through an advertisement in a newspaper or on the Internet.

The TÜV rating is based on the inspection of one hundred used vehicles of each model. The more faults the experts find, the lower the place of the vehicle. See below which machines are considered the most reliable according to the TÜV rating.

The most reliable car with mileage 2006-2007

Here, the representatives of the German car industry - Porsche 911 - are among the leaders. Even after ten years of operation, driving such a used car is comfortable and safe (no less than 5% of tested vehicles have passed the inspection, which is an excellent indicator for this age). True, for most of the Russian car owners this " iron Horse”Will remain a dream. To buy a used 2006 Porsche 911 - depending on the condition and mileage, you will have to fork out from 1.5 to 3.5 million rubles.

The most reliable used cars produced in 2008-2009

The leader is the same - the beautiful and inaccessible Porsche. In addition to 911, experts advise paying attention to the Porsche Boxster and Porsche 993.

The most reliable used cars 2010-2011

In this category, manufacturers from Germany lost the palm to engineers from Japan. The experts admit that the best used cars to look out for when buying Toyota Prius and Mazda 2 (about 12% of vehicles did not pass the inspection).

The most reliable used cars 2012-2013

The best option among used vehicles in this age category is Toyota Prius (the indicator is slightly more than 7% of vehicles that “failed” the inspection). Also, when buying, you should pay attention to:

• Ford Kuga;
• Porsche Cayenne;
• Audi A4.

The whole VW family also deserves attention: Tiguan, Passat CC and Golf Plus.

The most reliable used cars 2014-2015

• Audi Q5;
• Toyota Avensis;
• BMW Z4;
• Audi A3;
• Mazda 3;
• Mercedes GLK.

And now a little fly in the ointment! German experts are testing used vehicles that "run" on high-quality foreign roads. On the Russian off-road, the number of breakdowns of used cars is increasing. Without pleading with the merits of the above-mentioned used cars, let us turn to the opinions of experts from Russia.

Which reliable used cars are best for Russian roads?

Kira Kaddaha, editor of autospot.ru:

“If you want to buy a reliable used car, feel free to give preference to Japanese manufacturers: Toyota, Lexus, Infiniti. These brands are renowned for quality, especially Lexus and Toyota. But keep in mind that they are on the list of the most hijacked. Also, Japanese brands are more expensive than Korean ones. Spare parts are 15-20% more expensive than the "Koreans". Therefore, the positions of manufacturers such as Hyundai and Kia have strengthened not only in the primary market, but also in the secondary one. Over the past few years, Koreans have been among the leaders. They are chosen for quality, warranty (Kia has 5 years) and, of course, for reliability. "

It should be noted that the opinions of domestic experts differ from the rating of German specialists. And, most likely, this is due to the fact that not every Russian can afford to buy 3-5-year-old BMW, Audi, Lexus or Mercedes (not to mention Porsche). Therefore, the main task for most Russian buyers is to find the optimal compromise between price and quality (reliability).

For those with a small amount of money the best option will become:

• Hyundai Solaris (3-4-year-old used cars can be bought for 420-550 thousand rubles);
• Ford Focus (the cost of a used car in 2012-2013 is 450-550 thousand rubles);
• Renault Logan (the purchase of Logan 2013-2014 will cost 370-400 thousand rubles);
• "Lada Kalina" (the price of the vehicle in 2013 - 250-270 thousand rubles).

And again, nowhere without representatives of the "people's car" from Germany: "Polo", "Passat" and "Golf". Prices for 5-7-year-old vehicles of these models range from 400 to 600 thousand rubles.

Ilya Ushaev, Forsage Automobile Agency:

“Usually a person buying a car looks for it according to the following parameters:

• price;
• year of issue;
• mileage;
• liquid, so as not to lose in price;
• "I want it to be like new ...";
• better with one owner in the TCP;
• unbroken and unpainted.

This is roughly how most people see themselves the vehicle they want to buy. But once people are faced with reality, things get much more complicated.

Up to 150 thousand rubles. it is better to buy Renault Logan or Hyundai Accent (if in good condition- a win-win).

Budget up to 300 thousand rubles. - the leader of Mitsubishi Lancer 9, Renault Logan, Chevrolet Aveo"," Hyundai Getz ".

For 450 thousand rubles. it is better to buy Ford Focus 2, Nissan Tiida, Honda Civic and Ford Fiesta (the latter is better for girls).

With a budget of 600-700 thousand rubles. there are a lot of options. For family people - this is the Skoda Octavia 1.8 (automatic transmission, release from mid-2012, not to be confused with DSG box, we do not recommend it), Toyota Rav 4, Nissan Tiana (but be careful with the variator - this thing is very difficult to diagnose, and even after diagnosis it can run 150,000 km). Someone will be satisfied with a used Volvo S40 (expensive to maintain, like any European).

For 800,000 rubles. it is better to buy a Hyundai ix35 or Kia Sportage", Santa Fe", "Lexus IS250", "Honda CRV". From Europeans you can buy "Audi A6", "Citroen C6" (restyled) and "BMW X5 (E70)".

In addition, those who have at their disposal an amount from 800 thousand to 1.2 million rubles, according to experts, when buying it is better to pay attention to the Chevrolet Captiva and Nissan X-Trail 2013-2015.

Summing up, it remains to be noted that if you want to buy a reliable used car, it is better to choose a vehicle of German or Japanese origin.

Buying vehicle with mileage, it should be remembered that, in addition to reliability, the legal cleanliness of the car is also important. You can check the vehicle for traffic police restrictions, find out if it is in bail or under arrest with bailiffs, using the all-Russian Internet service "Autocode" in a few minutes. Also on our website you can download a book from which you will learn how to buy a used car profitably and safely.
