Warrantywise’s data also reveals just how expensive relatively minor issues can be. Repairing an oil leak in a Porsche Cayenne, for example, came with a bill of R 92 589, with a sensor repair on a Mercedes C Class costing R 86 522.
Lawrence Whittaker, CEO of Warrantywise, said: "Repair bills are not cheap – especially on certain vehicles.
"It’s not just supercars who have expensive repair bills, but the fact that we also have the likes of Mercedes and Land Rover in our 2017 pay outs just goes to show that all cars have the potential to go wrong. We’ve got experience in covering almost every car on the road, so you know that you are in safe hands with Warrantywise."
