Every Bronco model year from 2021 to 2025, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Mid-Size SUV of the same year.
Across 5 scored model years the Bronco needs fixing less often than its class, and repairs cost about what you would expect. The spread between years is what matters: 2024 is its strongest, 2021 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Mid-Size SUV sold that same model year.
| Year | Relative standing | Class rank | Pctl | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | #50 /53 | 6th | Avoid | |
| 2022 | #49 /59 | 17th | ||
| 2023 | #37 /67 | 45th | ||
| 2024 | #21 /72 | 72th | Best year | |
| 2025 | #15 /66 | 78th |
The line held a weak position through 2022, ran middling in 2023, and has been strong from 2024 on. The recent trend is upward. This 2025 car falls in a strong stretch.
All 12 systems, measured against the class average for each model year.
Every Bronco model year is scored across 12 separate systems — engine, transmission, brakes, electrical, steering and suspension, structure, interior, and five more. Each system is compared against how often that same system fails on the average Mid-Size SUV of the same year, so a common failure is judged against how common it is everywhere else.
Across the last three model years (2023–2025), the trouble concentrates in one place: exterior & lighting. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Mid-Size SUV of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.
