Quick summary
Total: 887 cars
The 1995 Ford Transit has an overall defect rate of 432 defects per 100 cars, which is significantly higher than the average of 326 defects per 100 cars, representing a 32% increase. Notably, the model shows a concerning trend with rising defect rates as mileage increases, particularly for those with over 124,000 miles, where defects reach 570 per 100 vehicles. While it performs better than average in steering and equipment defects, it struggles with visibility, lights and electrics, and issues related to the body structure, with these categories exhibiting much higher defect rates compared to the yearly average. Overall, this model may require closer scrutiny and maintenance, especially in its older units.
