Quick summary
Total: 13,535 cars
The 2011 Ford Mondeo has an overall defect rate of 318 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 17% higher than the average for its year, at 271. Notably, as mileage increases, the Mondeo shows a rising trend in defects, particularly in the higher mileage categories, where it significantly outperforms the average. The vehicle excels in visibility and equipment issues, with lower defect rates compared to the average, but it struggles with wheels, suspension, and body structure defects, which are considerably higher than average. Overall, while the Mondeo has some strengths, its higher defect rate in certain areas suggests it may not be as reliable as other models of the same year.
