UK’s Top 10 most stolen cars

The BMW X5 was the most frequently stolen and recovered car of 2013.

Stolen vehicle recovery experts Tracker have published their annual list of most stolen cars with the BMW X5 topping the list for the fifth year running.

BMWs dominate the list, with the 5 Series, M3 and 3 Series all making the table, while the Audi A4 has leaped from ninth position in 2011, up to fourth in 2013.

“It’s clear from our latest figures that thieves continue to target prestige models with the most expensive car recovered being worth £90,000,” says Adrian Davenport, Police Liaison Officer for Tracker.

He added: “The average value of the cars we recovered in 2013 was just £23,600, down on the average for the year before. This proves that you don’t have to be a luxury car owner to be at risk from thieves looking to make a quick profit.”
