Japanese car manufacturers have taken the top seven spots in this year's brand reliability table, according to Which?
Honda is top of the list with a reliability index of 85 per cent, followed by Toyota with 84 per cent and in third place Daihatsu with 83 per cent.
However, the Honda Civic, which is made in Swindon, came joint-bottom in the medium car table, dragging Honda's average down.
Richard Headland, editor of Which? Car, said: "Japan continues to show the rest of the world how to make consistently reliable cars, although the new Honda Civic shows they're not infallible.
"Some British-built cars, on the other hand, don't exactly run like clockwork. Land Rover, in particular, needs to raise its game."
British cars didn't fare well and Land Rover made it to joint-bottom alongside Chrysler/Dodge with a 67 per cent rating.
The reliability rating is calculated based on breakdowns, faults and niggles.
Including vehicles which are up to six-years-old, the survey gives a good indication of reliability across the life-span of a car.
