Toyota Corolla named UK's most reliable car by Fleet News

The Toyota Corolla has been named the UK's most reliable car in the Fleet News FN50 Reliability Awards. The result is based on how well the model has performed in real-world fleet use over the past 12 months.

The FN50 awards take a data-led approach to reliability. Rather than relying on judges' opinions, the rankings use information from UK fleet operators. A key measure is the number of days vehicles are taken off the road because of faults or breakdowns.

This makes the result particularly relevant to businesses, for which vehicle downtime can disrupt operations and increase costs. The Corolla came out on top in this year's assessment.

The Corolla sold in the UK is manufactured at Toyota's Burnaston plant in Derbyshire. The factory produces all three body styles offered in the market: the Hatchback, Touring Sports and Corolla Commercial hybrid van.

Toyota offers UK Corolla owners the opportunity to extend their warranty cover to 10 years or 100,000 miles (around 160,934km), whichever comes first, through its Service Activated Warranty scheme.

New cars come with a standard warranty of three years or 60,000 miles. Once that expires, owners can qualify for a further 12 months or 10,000 miles of cover after each qualifying service at an authorised Toyota centre. The service must be completed before the existing warranty expires.

There is no extra charge for the extension. Owners can continue to renew the cover after each eligible service until the car reaches 10 years old or 100,000 miles.

The Corolla has been a long-standing contender in the global C-segment. Its latest recognition in the UK fleet sector adds to its reputation as a dependable choice for both business and private buyers.
