‘As much as house deposit’ – Buyers told to avoid used cars that cost thousands to fix


The TikToker also highlighted that the Range Rover Sport is another bad investment for any motorist looking to buy a cheap used car.

The smaller variant of the full-sized Range Rover, the Sport keeps the luxury SUV’s good looks and, in its most potent form, accelerate from 0-62mph in just 5.6 seconds.

However, whilst buyers can easily find examples for sale for less than £5,000, he noted that some repairs could set drivers back more than £23,000, which the video creator noted is the same as some house deposits.

Later in the video, the Van Monkey employee also suggested that drivers avoid a popular BMW, particularly in its high-performance variant.

He continued: “Just missing out on the top, well bottom, spot is the BMW M3.

“The highest repair cost is £12,115 and [it has] a score of 21.4.”

However, according to the company’s data, the used car with the worst reliability is the UK-built Range Rover, which can cost eye-watering figures to replace.

He added: “And taking the bottom spot is the footballer’s necessity, as soon as you get a little bit of money, you have to buy one, it’s the law. It is the Range Rover.

“The highest repair cost is £23,890 and a score of 20.2. Are you surprised? Because I’m not really.”
