Best and Worst Years
The 2014 model is the most reliable with a 81% pass rate from 395 tests. The 2010 model has the lowest at 66%. The 15 point spread between years means reliability varies somewhat, but no year is dramatically different.
Reliability Trend

Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (2008) averages 112,022 miles, while the newest (2014) averages 78,091 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
