Research by Potholes.co.uk has revealed that Honda cars are the most resilient to pothole
damage. After Honda, the most ‘pothole-proof’ manufacturers are Toyota and Hyundai, with
less than 2% of their cars suffering axle and suspension damage attributable to potholes and
other road defects.
Tens of thousands of policies were analysed to reveal the cars most and least susceptible to
the nation’s biggest road problem ‘potholes’, which are set to be the worst in a generation this
winter. Recent claims for pothole damage have reached as high as £2420. Duncan McClure
Fisher of Warranty Direct, said “with last year’s road damage barely dealt with, a repeat of
those harsh winter weather conditions could see our highways deteriorate to the worst state
they’ve been in for a generation.”
Honda cars are the most resilient but Chrysler, Mercedes Benz and Land Rover models
are most likely to be defeated by the UK’s pothole riddle roads with more than ten percent
suffering damage each year.
