What a 6-year-old car fails on

A 2020 car is 6 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 low mileage, which usually means light urban use. Short journeys are harder on batteries, brakes and exhausts than motorway miles, so do not assume low miles means low wear. On a 2020 Kia Sportage Platinum Edition Isg the average at test was 29,024 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.

2020 is the strongest year on record for this model at 92%, ahead of every other year we hold data for.
