Quick summary
Total: 413 cars
The 2008 Citroen Nemo has an overall defect rate of 415 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 23% higher than the average for cars of the same year. This model shows a notable increase in defects as mileage increases, especially in the highest mileage bracket. While it performs better than average in brake defects, it struggles significantly in several areas such as steering, visibility, and electrical issues, where it has considerably higher defect rates than the yearly average. These findings suggest that while the Citroen Nemo may excel in braking, it faces challenges with other critical components, impacting its overall reliability.
