The data for compiling the rating was taken from services and repair workshops, and at the same time, the mileage of the cars serviced there was taken into account. For example, one Peugeot 307 went on its second million kilometers!
But let’s return to the statistics of the reliability of cars in France. Thus, in 2021, 21.82% of passenger cars (more than 3.7 million) that passed technical inspection had a mileage of more than 200,000 km. At the same time, 27% of the machines are older than 15 years. And this suggests that not all Europeans and the French, in particular, go to a car dealership as soon as the car warranty expires.
Given the fact that Renault and other French brands have recently been among the TOP leaders in both the new and used car markets, we believe that this list will be not only interesting, but also useful for many. Especially since there are a lot of French cars in this list.
