The 2011 Citroën Dispatch has an overall defect rate of 336 per 100 vehicles, which is 24% higher than the average for cars of the same year. Notably, as mileage increases, the defect rate also rises, particularly in the 124,000+ mile category, where it reaches 436 defects per 100 vehicles. This model stands out negatively in several categories, showing significantly higher issues with steering, visibility, lights and electrics, body structure, and equipment compared to the average vehicle. These findings suggest that while it may perform adequately in some areas, it exhibits considerable weaknesses in key safety and functionality aspects.
