Published grade / five-factor mean
C 77/ 100

The letter is the published assessment. Missing factor evidence is labeled; it does not become a zero.

Why this grade

Strongest broad-parts position of the US mass brands: free owner manuals online, very deep OEM + aftermarket parts supply (RepairClinic, parts retailers), simple engineering with few failure points, and it is the brand most often named as repair-pro-friendly. Full service manuals (vs owner manuals) are not always freely public and warranty work is restricted to authorized techs, which caps the schematic score. Low software lockout on mainstream lines. No authoritative per-brand repairability score exists, so grade reflects convergent trade evidence.

Methodology & scope
