A new study has showcased the top mainstream vehicle models that have held their value for some three years and over 37,000 miles – with Toyota leading the way.

Ask any caravan owner the things that they look for in a tow car and the chances are that durability will rank fairly highly.

After all, with some of the most scenic campsites located anywhere from the northern regions of Scotland way down to idyllic locations in Cornwall, the chances are that the average tourer has racked up a fair amount of miles.

Interestingly the new study, which was conducted by UK vehicle valuation specialists Glass’s Guide, found that when it comes to car durability diesel 4×4 models performed well.

According to the research, the 4.5 litre Toyota Land Cruiser came out on top with a resident value of 79.5 per cent seeing the price of the car drop from £54,510 to £43,325 over three years.

Skoda also performed strongly, with the Yeti coming in second and the Octavia Scout ranked as the fourth most depreciation-resistant car on the market.
