Car Crime Census 2013: Top 10 highest rate of theft by manufacturer 20 Aug 2013 (News)
If a car was manufactured for a market with less stringent security laws and guidelines – like Japan – before being imported to the UK then it will bring its poorer security systems with it, making it an easy target. That affects older Japanese cars and those that either wern't officially imported into the UK (grey imports such as the Mitsubishi Pajero) or were sold before engine immobilisers became compulsory in 1998. -

Offering back to basics sports car fun for not very much money has proved a successful recipe, so much so that people will import Japanese models because there just aren’t enough UK cars at the right prices.

Top 10: Survivors from the 1970s 6 Jun 2016 (News)

Set that against a backdrop of poor industrial relations and over-complicated model ranges, and it’s easy to see why companies like British Leyland had problems.

Accordingly a Code of Practice has been developed to "pave the way to a better highway service".

Warranty loophole acts against the buyer - Motorpoint clarifies Subaru warranty position Customers that buy new Subaru models from Motorpoint, the UK’s largest car supermarket group, will have their first 12 months warranty package honoured by the company in the event of a legitimate claim.
