ADAC statistics: breakdown help reaches record numbers in Saxony-Anhalt!

In 2024 there was a significant increase in operations for the breakdown help of the ADAC in Saxony-Anhalt. The ADAC breakdown helpers were alerted around 65,100 times, which means an increase of 1,100 missions compared to the previous year. On average, the helpers were used almost 180 times a day. January 2024 was particularly striking, which was considered the most operational month with around 377,000 emergency calls. On January 9 alone, the ADAC recorded almost 20,000 missions, which indicates the winter conditions and the associated problems.

The nationwide number of missions rose to over 3.6 million, an increase of a good 102,000 compared to 2023. An underlying trend for the increased number of operations could be the increasing average age of the automobile in Germany, which is now 10.6 years. In breakdown statistics, it turns out clearly that the battery was the main cause of the calls for help in almost 45 percent of cases. Engine problems, including defective sensors, followed on the foot.

batteries and electric cars in focus

A striking trend in 2024 also affects the breakdowns of electric vehicles. The ADAC breakdown helpers were called over 43,600 times to electric vehicles, which corresponds to a significant increase of 46 percent compared to the previous year. This increase could be attributed to the growing number of electric vehicles on the streets. In the previous year, the number of missions on electric cars rose to 30,009, which also signaled an upward trend. According to the ADAC breakdown statistics for 2023, electric cars showed improved reliability compared to combustion engines.

In terms of the most common breakdowns, the statistics of recent years are consistent. The main cause remains the battery with about 44.1 percent, followed by engine problems with 22.8 percent. Defective tires and problems with locking systems are also on the list of the most common causes. The ADAC has also found that self -inflicted breakdowns, such as by an empty fuel tank, are not included in statistics.

advice for vehicle owners

The breakdown statistics not only delivers current operating numbers, but also acts as a valuable source of information for used car buyers. The ADAC recommends paying attention to the following points when buying a vehicle: a critical check of the vehicle, the use of the ADAC Autodatabenbank, a professional review and the request of maintenance proof. The breakdown statistics are certified according to ISO 9001: 2015 and regularly audited to ensure their accuracy and reliability

Overall, the ADAC breakdown statistics show an impressive insight into the vehicle reliability and the challenges of drivers in Germany. The increasing operations illustrate both the age of the vehicles on the streets and the changing vehicle landscape with the increase in electric cars.
