Quick summary

Total: 41,100 cars

The 2011 Ford Transit exhibits a notably higher overall defect rate, with approximately 481 defects per 100 vehicles, compared to the average of 271 defects for the same year, indicating a performance that is 78% worse than average. Mileage trends show that as mileage increases, defect rates also rise significantly, particularly in categories such as Body/Structure and Equipment, where the Transit shows a much higher incidence of issues compared to average vehicles. Particularly concerning are the high rates of defects related to Brakes and Visibility, which are more pronounced in this model than in its peers. Despite some strengths, the overall picture suggests that the 2011 Ford Transit may require more attention regarding maintenance and repairs, especially in specific areas.
