The UK Most Vandalised Cars

It seems as if more and more prestige marques are becoming the target of vandals, and figures that have been released by a top car insurer has named the Lexus IS as the most vandalized car in the UK.

The BMW Z4 came in second and then the Mini One was named the third most vandalized car.  Swiftcover has created a database called the “Vehicle Vandalism Index.”  It seems most of the cars in the top ten are prestige cars, coming in Fourth the Mercedes CLK and the Audi TT fifth.

You might want to think carefully before buying a used cars ni because you don’t want to have to keep getting it repaired each time some jealous idiot keys it.

Claims director, Robin Reams said “the majority of vehicles in the top ten are what we call 'executive cars', likely to be driven by high earners who see their car as a status symbol, with just one 4x4 making up the top ten. Our analysis shows that luxury cars are more likely to be targeted by vandals, however, it's interesting to see the Mini ONE in the top three.”

Number six on the list is the Mazda MX-5 then BMW X5 and the Skoda Octavia, which shows it’s not just the executive models that are frequently vandalized.

Ford vehicles are vandalised less frequently.  This could be because they have better security systems, or just not as much in demand by the vandalists.
