If you’re in Frederick, MD, looking for a used car, one of your most essential concerns is probably reliability. You don’t want to buy a car only to have it fail right away or need immediate repairs. The six vehicles listed here are among the most reliable used vehicles since 2010, so with one of these, you can rest easy knowing they’ll be dependable daily drivers.

Toyota 4Runner2020 Toyota 4Runner | Frederick, MD

This truck-SUV hybrid is the number-one most reliable car made since 2010. It has received the highest ratings for reliability for 13 years in a row, which is a feat unmatched by any other make and model. It has not undergone a design change since 2010, so you can be sure that any model from 2010 to 2019 will treat you right. Even high mileage vehicles will still have a lot of life left in them.

 

 

Toyota Prius

Coming in with just a slightly lower high-reliability rating than the 4Runner, the Prius is an amazingly dependable car. You no longer have to worry about how long its hybrid battery will last, as this issue was solved well before 2010. With superior gas mileage, decent cabin room, and excellent reliability ratings, you can’t go wrong with any model between 2010 and 2019 of this eco-friendly vehicle.

 

 

Toyota Camry

Toyota has clearly focused on reliability in its vehicle designs over the last decade, as it takes another spot as a top reliable used car. This one is probably not a surprise as the Camry has dominated the midsize sedan market since 1993. While its 2018 model left some people wondering if the Camry had lost its reliable touch, any other model year between 2010 and 2019 will be a great choice if you’re looking for a slightly larger vehicle.

 

 

Lexus ES

The first non-Toyota entry on this list is the elegant Lexus ES, which has earned top reliability ratings for its engine, electrical system, transmission, and fuel system for over 11 years running. You won’t be shocked to learn that this car is modeled after the Toyota Camry, which could explain its superior durability, but if you’re looking for a luxury midsize used car, this make and model wins hands down.

 

 

Toyota RAV4

It didn’t take long for another Toyota to appear on the list. The RAV4 has been the top compact SUV crossover in terms of reliability over the last decade. Even though it underwent a design change in 2013 and 2016, owners of this vehicle have been delighted with its dependability. You might pay more for this model, though, as small SUVs are in high demand in many parts of the country, and a reliable one, even more so.

 

 

Lexus IS

The second luxury vehicle on this list is the Lexus IS, a slightly bigger model than the ES before it. Only the 2014 model should be avoided from the last decade, as owners reported infotainment issues from that model year. Still, you won’t find any significant problems in the past 10 years regarding the actual vehicle.

 

Toyota and Lexus models dominate the top 10 reliable cars over the past decade. The first six on the list are clear winners if you’re looking for a vehicle that won’t let you down. Contact DARCARS Used Car & Service Center of Frederick to get our inventory and schedule a test drive.
