Car reliability explained, car finance demystified - plus we answer your questions

Each year Which? publishes a Car Guide, packed full of expert features and advice, as well as lab-tested reviews of cars to fit every budget.

In the 2025 edition, Michael Passingham's research into more than 70,000 cars revealed that new cars are spending more time on average off the road than older models. But what is causing the trouble?

Dino Buratti spelt out the different ways you can buy a car, and detailed why buying outright isn't always the cheapest option.

While Which? Cars editor Will Stapley, alongside the wider team, explains how to use the Which? car reliability tool and answers your burning questions.
