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 Nissan Pixo the average at test was 66,885 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 78.6%, and the weakest in our data is 2010 at 72.4%. That 6.2 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2010 car against a newer one tells you very little.
