Several brands stand out for the reliability of their cars, which is why they rarely need to be repaired, while others require more frequent visits to the mechanic.<\/span><\/p>\n

The aftermarket sector once again provides a clear picture of brand reliability in Spain. According to data published by Recomotor, a vast network of spare parts with more than 15,000 affiliated workshops, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Land Rover, and Jeep remain the brands with the most repairs in 2025. Joining this group are MG and Lynk & Co, two emerging brands whose rapid growth in the Spanish market has also resulted in a significant increase in workshop visits.<\/span><\/p>\n

In contrast, Toyota, Honda, Kia, and Skoda remain at the top of the reliability ranking, registering fewer incidents per vehicle and solidifying their reputation as durable and reliable brands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toyota isn’t the only brand that fares well in this data collection.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marc Cu\u00f1at, head of spare parts at Recomotor, points out that the differences between manufacturers reflect the diversity of the Spanish vehicle fleet: \u201cThese vehicles are increasingly popular, but with recurring issues in electrical, suspension, and fuel systems. This reflects an increasingly varied fleet with very different maintenance needs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Engines, gearboxes, and electronic faults: the kings of the workshop<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

The report details that engines and gearboxes will continue to be the most requested spare parts in 2025, followed by brake systems and the increasingly frequent electronic faults. These breakdowns, associated with growing technological complexity, are having a particularly significant impact on brands like Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Opel, and Renault.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Honda rivals Toyota in reliability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Electrical faults now account for 13% of the total, with common issues including batteries, wiring, central locking systems, and power windows. This is compounded by incidents related to high temperatures, which in 2025 particularly affected Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and new market entrants like MG and Lynk & Co.<\/span><\/p>\n

General wear and tear remains a key factor, representing 22% of recorded repairs. It affects all brands equally and is directly related to everyday vehicle use, regardless of segment or engine type.<\/span><\/p>\n

More parts recovered for more efficient repairs.<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n<\/div>

Skoda, along with Kia and Hyundai, also appears as a brand highly valued by Spanish repair shops.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another relevant aspect is the increased demand for certified recycled parts, a trend gaining ground among both individuals and workshops. According to Recomotor, the brands that most frequently used these types of parts in 2025 were Citro\u00ebn, Volkswagen, Seat, Peugeot, and Renault.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cu\u00f1at emphasizes the importance of this practice: \u201cEvery repair is an opportunity to extend the life of a car more efficiently. Using certified recycled parts, with traceability and a warranty, reduces costs without compromising safety or reliability.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The report thus confirms the market’s evolution toward more sustainable and economical maintenance, driven both by the increase in electronic faults and by the diversity of brands that make up the Spanish vehicle fleet.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>
