reliability

I'd like your thoughts on the 2023 Renault Arkana E-Tech. I'm reading a bit online about fuel pump failures, erratic alarm activations and heater matrix faults. I really like the styling and the tech in this variant. Do you think I should avoid it?

How reliable is a 2.0-litre diesel Volkswagen Passat from 2016?

Downfalls of a 2004 Toyota Corolla?

Toyota Corolla 141 diesel, 270,000km on the clock: should I change soon or drive on until the end? No issues with it.

I bought a 2022 Ford Focus petrol ST line MHEV early this year and since have seen reports etc that the wet oil pump belt being rubber is causing problems. However I saw that the mild-hybrid model has a chain and not a rubber belt. Have you any information on this problem?

Many thanks

Hi,

Currently driving a 212 Citroen C5 Aircross and looking to change to a 2023 or 2024 car. Have narrowed the search to the Toyota RAV4 or Skoda Kodiaq. Long term reliability over the next five years is important.

Which would you recommend please?

Hi,

I'm looking at Volvo XC90s. In the 2019/2020 T8 hybrid, should the known ERAD problem be a concern? Is there anything to mitigate the risk? Does Volvo cover replacement if the vehicle has a full Volvo service history? Or is it safer to stick with the D5/B5 variant?

Thanks

I want to know about the timing belt issues in Peugeot's 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine. Do all cars have the same issues?

Hi,

Just wondering if you have any advice on what to watch out for when buying a 2018-regstered Audi Q7 e-tron (diesel plug in-hybrid)? The motivation for buying it was an SUV with three ISOFIX points on the back seat while leaving a decent boot for buggies and scooters. Other seven seaters left too small a boot.

Is the 2006 Volkswagen Polo a reliable car? I'm used to an 03 Golf, which was excellent; I need a reliable car on a tight budget.
