To identify these “big deal” repairs where an engine, transmission, or major component needs replacing, RepairPal uses a severity score for their consumer reports and reliability rating. Some repairs can be outliers as they cost way more than the average repair cost. The chart below gives a breakdown of all makes/models. This compares to an industrial average of 1.3, so on that implies the Nissan Rogue is substantially better than average.
The closer the frequency score is to 0, the longer amount of time it can go without major maintenance services.Ī Nissan Rogue has a frequency score of 0.99. The score is presented over a 3 year span - so for example, if a car has a maintenance frequency score of 3, then this car requires major services every year. A frequency score tells us how many times per 3 year span a specific vehicle requires major maintenance. You can tell how long a vehicle can go without maintenance services by its frequency score. Older vehicles may need more frequent services, while new cars can go longer without as much attention. Each vehicle requires maintenance at different frequencies. It should be noted that while we examine this data on a make model basis, driving habits, condition, and mileage obviously impact results. This “major” maintenance item is an expensive system breakage (generally a part or a component with pricing over $1,000) that requires repair. To examine the frequency of major maintenance we examined how many times the vehicle needed major unscheduled maintenance over a 3 year span.
