Quick summary
Total: 625 cars
The 2006 FIAT Scudo has an overall defect rate of 388 per 100 vehicles, which is slightly higher than the average of 369 per 100 for the same year. Notably, the model exhibits a significant increase in defects related to steering and visibility compared to its peers, with rates of 32 and 36 per 100 vehicles, respectively. Conversely, the Scudo performs better in the brakes category, showing a lower defect rate of 125 per 100 against the average of 157 per 100. Mileage trends indicate that as the vehicle ages, particularly in the higher mileage categories, the defect rate rises sharply, which is consistent with general patterns observed in other vehicles of this age. Overall, while tyre wear is a common issue, the Scudo stands out for its higher defects in steering and visibility.
