The Nissan Silvia is AA Insurance's most frequently stolen vehicle, for the third consecutive year.

The Honda Torneo is the second most stolen model, followed by the Nissan Skyline, in the company's list of the top 10 vehicles taken by thieves.

Various models of Subaru remain popular with thieves including Impreza, Forester and Legacy.

AA Insurance says that 80% of the top stolen vehicles were more than 10 years old.

To calculate the incidence of theft, AA Insurance measures the number of claims for each model of car as a percentage of the total number of policies it holds for that model.
