This is a reality now backed by data from a report by CarGarantie, which states that in 2023, the average cost of repairs rose to \u20ac657, representing a 6.3% increase over the previous year. This conclusion is based on the analysis of around one million warranties for new and used vehicles of all makes and models, in a trend that has been rising steadily for years. In 2022, the average repair cost exceeded \u20ac600 for the first time, reaching \u20ac618, to which 2023 has added another \u20ac39.<\/p>\n<h2>Most Expensive Failures<\/h2>\n<p>The most expensive component to repair\u2014both in new and used vehicles\u2014remains the engine. For used vehicles, the share of total claim amounts related to the engine was 25.9%, up from 23.9% the previous year. For new vehicles, it also tops the list at 20.4%, up from 19.8% the year before.<\/p>\n<p>In second and third place are the fuel system (including the turbocharger), with 17.6% in used vehicles (down from 18.0%) and 17.1% in new vehicles (down from 18.9%), followed by the electrical system, with 13.4% in used vehicles (same as the previous year) and 14.7% in new vehicles (up from 13.2%).<\/p>\n<h2>Most Frequent Failures<\/h2>\n<p>In terms of frequency, the electrical system continues to be the most affected component due to the increasing electrical and electronic complexity of vehicles. For used vehicles, it accounts for 22.1% of failures (up from 21.3%), and for new vehicles, 22.2% (up from 20.2%).<\/p>\n<p>The fuel system ranks second for both categories, with 17.7% of the most frequent failures in used vehicles (down from 18.2%) and 15.1% in new vehicles (down from 17.1%). In third place is the engine with 14.0% (up from 12.6%) in used vehicles, and comfort electronics with 14.2% (up from 13.0%) in new vehicles.<\/p>\n<h2>When Failures Occur<\/h2>\n<p>Statistics regarding the timing of failures\u2014based on mileage or days\u2014show that, compared to the previous year, failures occurred slightly later on average in 2023. For used vehicles, 27.6% of failures occurred within the first 5,000 kilometers (down from 29.2%). Only 21.2% happened after 25,000 km (up from 18.5%).<\/p>\n<p>When looking at failures by days in use, the pattern is similar to the mileage-based data: 25.8% of failures occurred after 360 days, compared to 24.0% the previous year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A report by CarGarantie reveals that the average cost of repairs rose by 6.3% in 2023 to \u20ac657, with engine failures being the most expensive and electrical failures the most frequent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":7914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<title>Engine and Electrical Failures: The Most Expensive and Frequent -
