Veteran motoring journalist, Malcolm Kinsey, has published his parts report for 2019 – highlighting some of the cheapest and most expensive cars to service in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The report compares 72 popular vehicles in nine different categories, in terms of the price of their parts.<\/p>\n

This is further split according to the prices for parts needed during servicing, for repairs and as a result of crashes.<\/p>\n

The report shows that the Nissan NP200 is the cheapest car to service of the 72 included on the list, with a total basket price of R49,823.<\/p>\n

Below you can find the three top cars across each category, as well as how much you can expect to pay for the parts basket.<\/p>\n

The basket includes various filters, belts, brake pads and drums, as well as various body parts.<\/p>\n
