Every Chevrolet Lacetti model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2010 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Chevrolet Lacetti:

What a 16-year-old car fails on
A 2010 car is 16 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 a shade above the middle of the range, still ordinary wear rather than a red flag, but worth checking against the service book for the car's age. On a 2010 Chevrolet Lacetti the average at test was 76,462 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.
2010 is the strongest year on record for this model at 61.3%, ahead of every other year we hold data for.
