What a 7-year-old car fails on

A 2019 car is 7 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 below average for a car this age, worth a mileage-consistency check since an unusually low reading is sometimes clocking rather than luck. On a 2019 Volkswagen T-Cross the average at test was 31,497 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 2021 at 91.7%, and the weakest in our data is 2019 at 89%. That 2.7 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2019 car against a newer one tells you very little.
