So we’re doing insurance databases now then.
So which models had the highest proportion of claims linked to accidents?
We looked at figures from Confused.com’s database over the past 12 months, based on all types of accident claims: this means those where the driver of a particular vehicle was at fault as well as cases where the other party took responsibility, and claims where no blame could be apportioned.
Top of the list was Honda’s FR-V six-seater: between them, 2,529 owners of these vehicles made 466 accident claims in the past year. That’s a claim rate of 18.4 per cent or almost one in five.
Next came Volvo’s XC90: of the 3,886 drivers of this model who bought cover through Confused.com, 619 made claims for accidents – a rate of 15.9 per cent.
The Lexus RX had a claim rate of 15.5 per cent (574 claims out of 3,701 drivers), followed by the Mazda 5 (15.3 per cent, or 373 out of 2,431).
Seems they all vary which is odd as surely they’d all be the same of course it tells us nothing who was to blame or what happened so really is no use what so ever.
