The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.
Why this grade
Best-in-class on the repairability fundamentals: spare parts guaranteed for at least 15 years after a series ends (often longer), 1–2 day OEM parts shipping, modular physical design allowing component-level access, and deep technician support — technicians rate it Tier 1. Two real drags keep it at C under equal weighting: PIRG's FTC-survey work ranks Miele (tied with Bosch) among the next-worst at restricting service documentation to independent repairers, and OEM parts are notably expensive. Premium repairability that is undercut by documentation gatekeeping and parts pricing.
