Mazda vehicles claimed the top spot in a new study on vehicle reliability. Nearly 92 percent of the Mazda cars studied, including the MX-5 Miata, aged between three and nine years old, suffered no mechanical failure of any type.

The report, which was issued by independent automotive extended-warranty specialists, Warranty Direct, looked at more than 450,000 vehicles in the United States and United Kingdom that were covered by Warranty Direct’s policies. The resulting ‘Reliability League Table’ shows the number of failures reported for every 100 vehicles. Mazda was rated number one with a failure rate of just 8.04 percent of vehicles aged between three and nine years old.

“The exceptional build-quality and long-term reliability of Mazda vehicles is something we have been proud of for quite some time,” said Jim O’Sullivan, President and CEO, Mazda North American Operations. “The findings of this recent report reinforce what we’ve believed all along - that Mazda reliability is not just very good, it’s the best.”
