Every Chrysler Ypsilon model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2013 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Chrysler Ypsilon:

What a 13-year-old car fails on
A 2013 car is 13 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 2013 Chrysler Ypsilon the average at test was 63,303 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 2011 at 69.9%, and the weakest in our data is 2013 at 65.9%. That 4.0 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2013 car against a newer one tells you very little.
