Every Suzuki Splash 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 Suzuki Splash:

What this means if you are buying a 2013 Splash

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 Suzuki Splash the average at test was 56,325 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 2014 at 77%, and the weakest in our data is 2008 at 58%. That 19.0 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2013 car against a newer one tells you very little.
