What brand of car are farmers most likely to drive?

Written by William Kellett

It is often said that a car says a lot about its owner, but can you tell what a person does for a living based on what they drive?

Research done by comparethemarket.com saw it look into its own data of 20 common occupations to see which are the most popular vehicles in each, as well as the occupations most likely to be behind the wheel of certain car brands

The results were as follows:



Dan Hutson, head of motor insurance at comparethemarket.com, said:

“We wanted to explore our data to analyse the different cars we drive and the professions we work in.

“Often, people can get stereotyped when it comes to their car choices with our cars saying a lot about our lifestyle, personality and priorities.

Sometimes, a particular career can call for a specific design of car; some require more space and some call for efficiency and city driving, whereas others have style as a number one priority.

“While many other factors do come into play such as affordability, space, style and more, it is interesting to see which professions drive which cars.”

The research also looked at the favourite make and model of 20 common occupations. On the whole, the data showed Ford, in particular the Ford Fiesta, is by far the preferred brand across the majority of jobs.

These are what any self respecting farmer has in his shed ready to roll…...

Just in case there is the odd farmer out there reading this and doesn't know it, Harry Metcalfe is a real professional farmer that founded and owned EVO car magazine, which he sold for a penny or two. I believe he probably makes some profit from his car collection also. They are like cows, but cheaper to maintain and don't shït all over the shed and yard, and will probably make a penny or two back if he ever sells them.
