Britain's most reliable manufacture!
Ford has been named as Britain's most reliable van manufacturer in an authoritative survey of the country's 50 largest contract hire companies. In a double success, Ford Transit was named the most reliable van for the fourth year running, with the Ford Transit Connect in third place for the second year running.
The annual reliability survey is published by Fleet News magazine and polls the UK's leading leasing companies, which together operate over 1,000,000 vehicles.
The leasing and contract hire companies – all running multi marque fleets – rated vehicles according to breakdowns per 100 of each model. This year's survey covered a total of 840,000 cars and 183,000 light commercial vehicles.
"Reliability and minimising off-road time is critical for the commercial vehicle operator, whether it's a small van or a large truck. As commercial vehicle market leader for 46 years, Ford supports the most efficient use of a vehicle whilst on the road."
Kevin Griffin, Ford of Britain fleet director.
