Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 0.4% of tests record it — this model is 2.5× that share |
| The 231 models compared | 34 of 231, highest first |
| The model's own record | 401,612 tests · every year of the Combo → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Vauxhall Combo tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.
