This year, most of the time the consequences of road accidents had to be repaired in auto service centers BMW“Mitsubishi” And “Mercedes-Benz“for the owners of passenger cars of the brand, while such problems rarely occurred to the drivers of” Suzuki “,” Dacia “and” Fiat “, according to joint-stock insurance companies”BTA“information collected.
The top of the list of “riskiest” brands in Latvia is stable and undergoes minimal fluctuations over the years. This year, the BMW brand cars, which had slipped to second place last year, are confidently back on top.
The second brand in terms of accident rate is “Mitsubishi”, ahead of “Mercedes-Benz” and “Lexus”. All three brands are also distinguished by relatively expensive repairs. “Audi” is in fifth place and “Land Rover” in sixth, which is the most expensive vehicle to repair this year. The average cost of repairing the aftermath of a single “Land Rover” accident is over € 2,000. The top ten are complemented by “Kia”, “Volkswagen”, “Seat” and “Mazda”.
“Although being guided by stereotypes in evaluating people is not a productive action, apparently there is some truth in the knowledge accumulated over the years about the relationship between car choice and personality type. It is very likely that more powerful cars and more sporty people are chosen by more adventurous people who take more risks both in life and on the road. compensation of “BTA”.
“In relation to this topic, of course, we cannot fail to mention the rapidly growing car repair costs associated with high inflation. Therefore, car owners must expect car repair costs to often exceed several thousand euros. “, says Liepiņš.
The most disciplined this year have been the “Suzuki” riders, who have had road accidents almost twice as many as BMW. The next more “disciplined” brands are “Dacia”, “Fiat”, “Opel”, “Cupra”, “Honda”, “Mini”, “Toyota”, “Nissan”, “Citroen” and “Subaru”, which also proven to be in the cheapest car repairs.
