Quick summary

The 2019 Ford Puma has an overall defect rate of 102 per 100 vehicles, which is slightly better than the yearly average of 106 per 100, indicating a 3.8% improvement. Key insights reveal that the Puma performs particularly well in categories such as visibility, lights and electrics, and body structure, with significantly lower percentages of defects compared to the average. However, it shows notable weaknesses in brakes and steering, where defect rates are higher than average, particularly in the steering category. Mileage trends suggest that defect rates increase with distance travelled, which is in line with typical vehicle performance patterns.
