Every Bronco Sport model year from 2021 to 2025, scored on reported failures weighted against how many were sold — and ranked against every other Compact SUV of the same year.
Across 5 scored model years the Bronco Sport needs fixing less often than its class, and repairs cost about what you would expect. The spread between years is what matters: 2025 is its strongest, 2021 its weakest.
Longer bar is better. Rank is against every Compact SUV sold that same model year.
| Year | Relative standing | Class rank | Pctl | |

The line held a weak position through 2023, ran middling in 2024, and has been strong from 2025 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 Sport 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 Compact 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: engine. That system draws issue reports more often than the same system on the average Compact SUV of its year — which changes what you should be inspecting before you buy.
