Jeep has been named the most unreliable car manufacturer as top 10 list of the worst performers has been revealed.

A survey of more than 25,000 used car owners has named the least reliable car manufacturers.

What Car? asked owners of used cars up to five years old about how often their cars had broken down in the past two years.

They used this data to score cars out of 100. The higher the score the more reliable the car is.

Bottom of the pile was Jeep with a score of just 77 per cent.

Land Rover was the second most unreliable firm – and embarrassingly its latest Discovery model was named the most unreliable model.

Discovery owners had problems with electrics (24 per cent), bodywork (18 per cent) and batteries (12 per cent).

Topping the most reliable car manufacturers list was Lexus, closely followed by Toyota and Mini.

The most reliable individual model was named as the Hyundau Tucson was a faultless score of 100 per cent.

The survey also broke down models by drivetrain and found the least reliable electric car was the Tesla Model 3.

Scoring 78.9 per cent – only marginally higher than the worst performing model, the Discovery – the Tesla was panned for bodywork problems, suspension, sat nav and interior trim issues.
