At a casual glance, the 2005 BMW 520 would appear to have the lowest failure rate.

Who said BMW drivers were stupid? They know a good car when they see one.

Ford Capri.

Rust, rust and more rust

But when it good it's VERy good

From this I conclude that our 10 year old car has a 66% chance of passing its next MOT, that the moon is made of Limburger cheese and that if I eat too many sprouts tonight I will have to sleep in the spare bedroom.

The Peugeot 205's first year of use was 1900. What an incredibly long production run they had!
