The 2022 Ford Transit has an overall defect rate of 108 per 100 vehicles, significantly higher than the yearly average of 70 per 100, representing a 54% increase. This model shows a concerning trend in mileage-related defects, with rates rising from 215 per 100 in the lowest mileage category to over 271 in the highest. It particularly stands out negatively in categories such as Brakes, where defect rates are more than double the average, and Lights & Electrics, with a 242% increase compared to the average.
