Because the data utilised by the Reliability Index is taken from in excess of 50,000 Warranty Direct current policies, it is constantly updated as new customers' vehicles are added to the database. That means the Reliability Index ratings are constantly on the move. Every year, Warranty Direct takes the most up-to-date information from the Index, and reveals the 100 most reliable cars on the road for the last 12 months.
