Best and Worst Years
The 2017 model is the most reliable with a 90% pass rate from 16,631 tests. The 2009 model has the lowest at 75%. 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 (2009) averages 113,434 miles, while the newest (2018) averages 49,468 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
