Scores compiled from owner communities, specialist workshops and marque literature — quantified.
Mechanical robustness — top-end wear, bottom-end failures and known chronic faults.
The classic weak point. Loom quality, charging systems, ignition reliability.
OEM plus specialist supply. How hard is it, and how expensive, to keep it on the road.
Indexed to the category average. Service intervals, consumables and labour hours.
Beta — scores are living estimates and updated as evidence accumulates.
