Confused.com has released its list of the most stolen vehicles in the UK and has teamed up with ex-burglar turned good, Michael Fraser, to help offer tips to drivers on how to keep their vechiles safe and sound.
According to the group’s customer data, the least likely car to be stolen is the Ford Ka3 with no theft incidents reported in the last seven years from over 9,000 different owners. With a .41% chance of theft topping the list is the Toyota Yaris. This figure means that about one out of every 244 Yaris will be stolen. Coming in second place is the Volkswagen Touareg followed by the Volvo XC90, Porsche 911, and in fifth place the Seat Altea.
On the other side of the coin, following behind the Ford Ka3 as the least stolen vehicles are the Suzuki Ignis, Chevrolet Matiz, Nissan Skyline, and the Hyundai I10 Comfort.
Car insurance specialists at Confused.com have interviewed security expert and ex-burglar, Michael Fraser, to get a picture of what car owners can do to avoid losing their car to a thief. Motorists can access Michael’s tips and a Confused.com video on how to beat car thieves and keep cars safe by visiting the Confused.com website.
34 years ago, Michael stole cars himself, choosing the Ford Capri and Bedford vans due to the fact that they were relatively easy to take. Michael Fraser now advises on which vehicles thieves might target, and his advice includes a look at how new technology is affecting car theft. Vehicle tracking systems, like the kind found at www.wirelessmatrix.org, can help find your car if it is stolen.
