Defect rate by model year
The Chevrolet Trax, a compact SUV introduced in 2013, has gained recognition for its versatility and practicality, appealing to urban drivers and small families alike. With a blend of functionality and a relatively affordable price point, the Trax has served as a popular choice in the competitive compact SUV market. However, its reliability has been a topic of discussion, particularly when examining MOT inspection data over the years.
When comparing the Trax's reliability to the average car of the same model year, the data reveals a concerning trend. In both 2013 and 2014, the Trax exhibited a higher rate of defects per 100 vehicles than the average. The 2013 model recorded approximately 246 defects per 100 tests, which is about 12% higher than the average of 219 defects. Similarly, the 2014 model showed 225 defects per 100, marking a 16% increase over the 194 average defects. These figures suggest that the Trax may face more reliability challenges than its contemporaries.
Recurring issues noted in the inspections include significant problems with tyre tread depth, which often did not meet legal requirements, indicating potential safety risks. Additionally, excessive wear on suspension components and brake issues were frequently reported. Leaks from various fluids also emerged as a common concern, raising environmental and safety alarms. These recurring defects highlight areas where the Trax may require more attention from owners and prospective buyers.
In terms of performance, both the 2013 and 2014 models underperformed against their average counterparts, indicating a trend of reliability issues during these years. Notably, the data does not showcase any significant improvements in later years, suggesting that the model's reliability may warrant scrutiny for those considering purchasing a used Trax.
