Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2010 model has the highest pass rate at 71% from 184 tests. The 2008 model has the lowest at 60%. The 11 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.

Mileage Across Years
