When we are faced with the choice of buying a car, there are a lot of doubts that arise before buying. But perhaps the biggest one has to do with the actual quality of the product we’re spending money on, which usually isn’t a bit much for a machine.

Realizing models that are more mechanically resistant and that maintain efficiency even after years of purchase can save us a lot of money in the long run, because we will avoid the whole gamut of costs associated with constant visits to a reliable mechanic.

In fact, expenses related to repairs after those for fuel are the most expensive for all motorists. According to an analysis by CarGarantie (insurance company), in 2019, there was a significant increase in payments made by motorists to mechanics, compared to the previous year. We’re talking about increases of around 5% with consumers seeing their annual expenses for repairs rise from €527 to €551, an increase of €24 from 2018.

The most damaged component of various types is the engine. After engine repairs, the most expensive repairs are those to the fuel system, transmission, electrical system and finally to the air conditioning system. But there are some makes and models of cars that are more susceptible than others to damage of all kinds, let’s see them together.
