What breaks on your car

Car Check Box shows what typically breaks on your exact car — by make, model, engine, and mileage — and at what mileage it tends to happen. Pick your car below to see a list of defects, each with the sample size it was calculated from.

The data comes from anonymized inspection results and government statistics across several countries — UK MOT (DVSA), Norwegian PKK (Statens vegvesen), and US NHTSA — covering brakes, suspension, lighting, exhaust, bodywork, and dozens of other systems. No forum anecdotes or guesswork — just what inspectors actually record across millions of real inspections.

Useful before buying a used car, ahead of a scheduled service, or just to know what to expect from your car next.
