The Mach-E's rival, the Tesla Model Y, has similar maintenance requirements: it must be inspected every six months or 6,250 miles, whichever comes first for the owner.

8. Bronco Ford

Model Years: 1965–Present; Average Annual Repair Costs: $502* Following a successful run, the Ford Bronco was terminated in 1996. The reason for the discontinuation was the drop in demand for two-door SUVs among consumers; the Bronco was replaced by the four-door Excursion and Expedition. Ford refuted the rumors that some people believed were the reason for the discontinuation, citing specific news occurrences from the 1990s.

The NHTSA is looking into the possibility of catastrophic failures stemming from valves dropping into the cylinders. A Bronco can be repaired for roughly $502 in general (RepairPal), but the damage will be much worse if the engine breaks down.
