The most attended vehicles in workshops in 2021

The countries from which data have been taken to prepare the report are the following: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.

To carry out the study, they are based on the queries they receive on their online platform Autodata, an online tool used by workshops to obtain complete technical information for the procedures for review, maintenance, diagnosis and repair of vehicles.

Therefore, this study does not show the least reliable brands, since there are many more factors that affect whether a workshop consults about a brand or model in the Solera application: number of vehicles sold in a country, the technical complexity of some maintenance and repair tasks or the revision intervals of each model, are factors that may require more or less information about a specific brand or model.
