Which SsangYong Rexton years should I avoid?

The SsangYong Rexton build year that fails most for its age is 2014: index 113.8 (95% CI 105.9–121.7) against the model's own age norm of 100 (2019–2024, n = 1,915).

Build year matters for the SsangYong Rexton: 2014 SsangYong Rextons fail more than their age would predict, 2019 ones less. Years whose confidence interval includes normal are shown without a label.
