At 23,908 miles median mileage for a four-year-old car, these examples are running relatively light, which explains the modest 0.34 failures per vehicle on test. The 2.2 advisories per car suggest minor wear items rather than structural concerns, so when shopping for one, budget for routine consumables but don't expect major mechanical surprises—a pre-purchase inspection will still catch the few problem cars in the group.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 91.9% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 2.2 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 1,163 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
