Ford win reliability accolade with vans
publication date: Nov 25, 2009
Ford has been named as Britain's most reliable van manufacturer in an authoritative survey of more than one million vehicles.
In a double success, the Transit was named the most reliable van for the third year running, with the Transit Connect in third place.
The annual reliability survey is published by Fleet News magazine and polls the UK's leading leasing companies, which together operate over 1,000,000 vehicles.
The leasing and contract hire companies – all running multi marque fleets – rated vehicles according to breakdowns per 100 of each model. This year's survey covered a total of 840,000 cars and 183,000 light commercial vehicles.
