Autodata has published its annual Europe wide survey of the most serviced vehicles, showing that the Ford Focus was the car most worked on in Ireland by garages in 2019.

Currently in its fifth year, the Autodata Most Serviced Vehicles Report uses analytics from Autodata’s extensive global customer base to show the cars that garages most frequently access information on. The ‘most serviced’ stats are based on vehicle model information that workshops accessed most frequently during 2019.

In Ireland, the car which was referenced to most often in 2019 was the Ford Focus 2004 and 2008, followed by the Volkswagen Golf V (1K1) (03-08) and the Volkswagen Passat (3C2/3C5) (05-11). The top light commercial vehicle was the 2006 Transit followed by the 2014 Transit and the VW Transporter T5 from 2004-15.

The Opel Insignia was named as the most serviced diesel model, while the Mitsubishi Outlander topped the Hybrid list.
