Quick summary

Total: 369 cars

The 1991 FIAT Ducato has a significantly higher overall defect rate compared to the average vehicle of the same year, with 442 defects per 100 vehicles versus the average of 263. Notably, the Ducato shows particular weaknesses in the brakes and body structure categories, with defect rates of 206 and 124 per 100 vehicles, respectively, far exceeding the average rates. Mileage-related trends indicate that as mileage increases, the defect rate also rises sharply, especially in the highest mileage category. While tyre wear is a common issue across many vehicles, it is not highlighted as a specific concern for this model, which instead stands out for its higher incidence of defects in visibility and lighting systems compared to the average.
