Best and Worst Years
Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2009 model has the highest pass rate at 73% from 435 tests. The 2010 model has the lowest at 69%. With just a 4 point gap, pass rates are similar across these years. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.
Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (2008) averages 117,848 miles, while the newest (2010) averages 109,883 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
