Best and Worst Years

Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2004 model has the highest pass rate at 74% from 175 tests. The 2003 model has the lowest at 64%. The 10 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

The oldest model in our data (2001) averages 123,260 miles, while the newest (2019) averages 107,071 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
