Vauxhalls involved in most road accidents, data suggests

The Vauxhall Zafira has been highlighted as the car involved in the most road accidents with 511 vehicles being involved in crashes per 10,000 cars, new data analysis shows.

Rivervale Leasing analysed Department for Transport data and found three of the top five cars involved in the most crashes were found to be Vauxhalls.

The Vauxhall Corsa, one UK’s bestsellers, came out as one of the vehicles involved in the most accidents, with more than 33,000 total accidents.

Model Total accidents Models in the UK Accidents per 10,000 models
1. Vauxhall Zafira 12,076 236,269 511
2. Vauxhall Astra 30,734 847,079 363
3. Renault Clio 13,971 416,823 335
4. Vauxhall Corsa 33,264 1,059,717 314
5. BMW 3 Series 17,215 578,674 297
6. Ford Focus 32,730 1,198,667 273
7. Volkswagen Golf 25,089 1,046,668 240
8. Ford Fiesta 35,602 1,530,969 233
9. Volkswagen Polo 15,692 678,366 231
10. Toyota Yaris 11,135 489,878 227

Despite only four of the manufacturers listed having more cars on the road, Audi is the safest by rate of accidents.

With only 34,300 of them from just under 1.8 million UK Audis, the German manufacturer is the only one in our research to come in under 200 accidents per 10,000 models.

At the other end of the scale is again Vauxhall with 335 accidents per 10,000, only a fraction worse off than French manufacturer Renault.

    Collisions, (not accidents) are usually caused by driver error. Perhaps Zafiras have an unfortunate nack of being in the wrong place at the wrong time!
