Car crime and the theft of vehicles is a problem across the UK no matter where you live. But statistics suggest that you may have more of a chance of becoming a victim of it if you own certain makes of cars. That's according to statistics obtained from the DVLA, which has revealed the most commonly stolen cars across the country.
The Government agency, which maintains a database of drivers and vehicles for the entire country, released figures to leasing comparison site LeaseLoco via a Freedom of Information request revealing that from January 1 until December 31, 2021, there were a whopping 48,493 vehicles reported stolen.
Unsurprisingly, one of the most commonly driven cars topped the list in the form of a Ford Fiesta, with 3,909 incidents. We reported how a red Ford Fiesta ST was stolen from the driveway of Sam Joseph in broad daylight on Friday, March 18. You can read more about that by clicking here.
