LONDON: Data from Kwik Fit, which fits more tyres to cars in the UK than any other company, reveals which car models are disproportionately likely to need new tyres in every area of Britain.
One car tops the list in significantly more locations than any other vehicle – the Tesla Model 3.
The company’s analysts looked at which models were disproportionately more likely to be brought in for tyre changes than the average car in every area of Great Britain and calculated the index figure for each model.
The Kwik Fit ranking is led by the Tesla Model 3, which topped the table in 54 areas across Britain.
This is more than twice as many as the model family in second place, the Citroen Berlingo, which comes top in 24 locations.
In third place is another Tesla, the Model Y (16 areas), followed by the Mercedes CLA (9 areas).
The top six is completed by the BMW 4 series and the Volvo XC40 (both with 7).
Kwik Fit communications director Roger Griggs said: “We have more than 600 Kwik Fit centres across the country and see more than two million of the UK’s cars each year, covering EVs and hybrids as well as petrol and diesel models. As a result, we have a huge sample of data on tyre changes and other repairs on every make and model for our expert team to analyse."
