Know your car before you buy or drive.
Enter any car model, specific engine, or transmission to get an instant reliability score, common issues, and realistic repair cost estimates.
Reliability Score
0–100 rating across engine, transmission, electrical and more.
Common Issues
Known problems by mileage with severity ratings.
Repair Costs
Most used currency of the selected continent, always.
How the scores are built
We combine real-world failure data with regional repair costs so you get a score that reflects actual ownership experience, not marketing claims.
Aggregate real-world data
Official registries, inspection statistics, road service reports, owner forums, and technical service bulletins are pulled together for the exact model, engine, or transmission you searched.
Cross-check sources
Recalls, consumer agency findings, and regional defect reports are matched against reported symptoms to separate isolated faults from systemic patterns.
Weight and rate
Each issue is scored by frequency, severity, and typical mileage. The result is a 0–100 reliability index with component breakdowns you can act on.
Scores are possible because modern vehicles leave a long trail of structured data — recalls, inspection failures, warranty claims, and owner reports. We normalize that trail into one clear number.
From raw findings to a score
Pick a model to see how component ratings and reported issues combine into one reliability index and a rating class.
Weighted average = 75 points. Safety-critical systems carry more weight than cosmetic ones.
Total deduction = −13 points. Each penalty scales with how often the fault appears and how expensive it is to fix.
Weighted base minus issue deductions gives the 0–100 reliability index.
85–100 Excellent · 70–84 Good · 55–69 Average · 40–54 Weak · below 40 Poor.
A usable everyday car, but the timing chain and cooling system should be checked before buying and reserved for in the running costs.
Reliability index 0–100
The same index is used for every report. The marker shows where the selected example lands among the five rating classes.
Example figures are illustrative. Every search recalculates the same steps with live data for the exact model, engine, year, and region you choose.
