Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2011 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Honda Stepwagon:

What a 15-year-old car fails on

A 2011 car is 15 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 above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures. On a 2011 Honda Stepwagon the average at test was 82,571 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 2013 at 90.5%, and the weakest in our data is 2011 at 79.5%. That 11.0 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2011 car against a newer one tells you very little.
