Reliant Robins 'least likely to be involved in accidents'

Owners of classic Reliant Robins are less likely to need to make a car insurance claim than drivers of any other types of vehicle, according to a new report.

Confused.com has published new research showing that less than one in 100 owners of the three-wheeled cars have been involved in a collision in the last five years.

This was a lower rate than any of the other least-crashed vehicles in the survey, including brands such as Lamborghini and Ferrari, as well as being more than ten times lower than the accident rates seen among Lexus owners.

Gareth Kloet, Confused.com's head of car insurance, said this is most likely due to the Reliant Robin's niche appeal, meaning that owners are well-versed in how to handle and look after their cars.

"Most are members of specialist clubs devoted to the model and drive them only on special occasions," he added.

This comes after an earlier survey by the price comparison site revealed that Honda's FR-V six-seater has been shown as the car with the highest accident rate in the UK in the last half-decade.
