Only if the individual car has been looked after — and most have not. 52% of the Ford Figos we inspect in Saudi Arabia show a mechanical fault in the engine, gearbox, suspension or steering, against the 24% we would expect for sedans of the same age and mileage in the Kingdom, with body repair at 83% against 56% and electrical faults at 26% against 11%. These arrive at a median of nearly 200,000 km, because a Figo is bought as transport and driven until it stops. Budget cars of every badge read this way — the Kia Rio shows body repair at 75% against an expectation of 56% — so the report on the specific car is what separates sound from tired.
