Japanese manufacturers have dominated a poll of the Top 100 most reliable used cars over the past decade.
The list, compiled by independent mechanical breakdown insurer, Warranty Direct, found that every car in the Top 10, and an amazing 16 out of the Top 20, were Japanese models. The Honda Accord was at number one.

Models were ranked according to the frequency of failure and based on a database of over 55,000 vehicles. Last year, over 7.5m Britons spent �25bn buying a used car - nearly seven times the number of people who bought a new car privately.
