Every Hyundai Accent model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2007 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Hyundai Accent:

What a 19-year-old car fails on
A 2007 car is 19 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 2007 Hyundai Accent the average at test was 84,329 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.
2007 is the strongest year on record for this model at 66.7%, ahead of every other year we hold data for.
