It's there in black and white..
Sounds conclusively like it's the number of faults, irrespective of 'cost per fault'..
Remind me not to come to you if I want clarification on something 'conclusive' in future.
Direct from the source of the data, an explanation of how the reliability index works. I've taken the trouble of highlighting the key points in bold, to be more conclusive for you.
Reliability Index
The UK Reliability index takes into account all factors of a repair, the cost of the parts and the frequency of failures - The Average of all cars is 112 which means that if the figure for the car you are looking at has a higher than average index (118) it indicates that that car is less reliable than the average, if however there is a lower than average index (60) the reliability is better.
Not trying to 'spin' this to make it look better for the prestige brands ?![]()

No given that:
a) I was right
b) I'm always on here posting about how the reliability of a prestige brand is not as good as something from Japan. I dont think I've ever said anything to the contrary.
