What a 26-year-old car fails on
A 2000 car is 26 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:
- Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
- Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
- Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
- Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
- Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
- Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested
That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does. On a 2000 Aston Martin Db7 the average at test was 50,766 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.
The strongest year for this model is 2002 at 90.1%, and the weakest in our data is 2003 at 86.7%. That 3.4 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2000 car against a newer one tells you very little.
