A survey of the top 50 largest contract hire companies carried out by a leading industry publication has named the Ford<\/a> Transit as the most reliable commercial vehicle.<\/p>\n

Those looking for Ford deals<\/a> will be interested that the poll also named Ford as the manufacturer of the most reliable vans.<\/p>\n

The FN50, published in Fleet News, revealed that the Ford Transit beat off strong competition from the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and its fellow Ford Transit Connect to take top spot.<\/p>\n

Fleet News editor Stephen Briers said: "Businesses that depend on vehicles take reliability very seriously, and can’t afford downtime through breakdowns that incur extra costs."<\/p>\n

He added that the survey is the largest of its kind and any vehicles placing in the top ten of any category represent a safe bet for any organisation or private motorist.<\/p>\n

Results of the magazine's car reliability survey were also published with the Sunderland built Nissan Qashqai, just missing out on a top three place, finishing in fourth.<\/p>\n
