The CARFAX Canada 3-Year Reliability Forecast provides insight into whether repairs, excluding regular maintenance, like oil changes, are likely for a vehicle over the next three years. This forecast is based on vehicles from the same geographic area with the same year, make, model, or generation with similar mileage, damage, service history, and other factors, assuming an average of 24,000 km driven per year. Some of the predicted repairs may be covered under warranty. The 3- Year Reliability Forecast is based on data reported to CARFAX Canada and is only a prediction, not a guarantee.*


Before you buy a used car, we recommend that you get a CARFAX Canada Vehicle History Report, take a thorough test drive and have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic or auto technician to make sure the vehicle is functioning properly.


* Reliability badging applies to vehicles with model year 2010 and newer.
