BRENTWOOD, England - 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. The Transit Connect was voted the third most reliable model.
The annual reliability survey is published by Fleet News magazine. Survey organisers question companies involved in the contract hire and leasing sector and asked them to rate each vehicle they have on their fleet.
In total, this year's survey covered 840,000 cars and 183,000 light commercial vehicles.
Stephen Briers, editor of Fleet News said: “This survey is the largest of its kind in the country and is based on feedback from those who really know about the reliability of vehicles – people who run hundreds of thousands of vehicles over many hundreds of thousands of miles.”
