The UK is currently in the running for a record low for vehicle theft for over three years. Despite this, we are going to discuss the most targeted cars for thieves in the UK.
According to Motor Trade experts, the most targeted car for thieves in the UK is the BMW 7 Series. The German built luxury car is believed to be the most wanted car on the UK's black market. The 7 Series model traditionally tests new designs and features and assesses the reaction of the public to the new technologies and features before filtering them down to lower models in the range. The new technology on the models would be just the thing that the thieves would be looking out for.
The Audi A3 is the next best in the list, as the German manufacturers seem to top not only the best selling leader board, but the top of the most thieved leader board. The German mass market manufacturers such as BMW, Volkswagen and Audi all represent quality and luxury along with a deserved price tag and will be a target for the local car thieves in your area.
Approximately, 200,000 cars a year are stolen or written off in the UK according to Motor Trade experts and whilst the number of cars stolen is predicted to drop, the number of cars written off might rise accordingly with the number of new cars entering the roads each year.
The Audi A5 confirms the Germans reputation in the car world and the stolen car market at that. The Audi A5 remains an attractive proposition for buyers and for thieves as it is steeped in class and technology. The Audi TT model is the next on the list and is believed to be the most value achieving car on the black market.
The BMW features again in the list, with the X5 model and will specifically targeted by thieves with the technology of steeling such a defiant and security fitted model as the X5. The Renault Laguna model also features on the list of most attractive and most targeted models to be stolen in the UK, as it remains the most affordable luxury family car on the market.
Range Rover or otherwise known as the Footballers car of the UK remains to be one of the most attractive cars in the UK for the motorists who purchase the vehicle and those who steel the model.
