Quick summary

The 2022 Ford Puma shows a significantly lower overall defect rate compared to the average car of the same year, with 48 defects per 100 vehicles versus the average of 70. This represents a 32% improvement. Notably, the Puma excels in categories such as brakes and visibility, showing defect rates that are 42% and 62% lower than average, respectively. However, it has a higher failure rate in steering compared to the average, indicating some room for improvement in that area. Additionally, the mileage-related trends suggest that defect rates increase with mileage, but the Puma remains relatively competitive across all mileage segments.
