Quick summary

Total: 2,830 cars

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz Vito shows a higher overall defect rate of 99 per 100 vehicles, significantly outpacing the average of 70 per 100 for the same year, representing a 41.8% increase. Notably, as mileage increases, defect rates also rise, particularly in the higher mileage categories. While the Vito fares better than average in steering, body structure, and equipment defects, it struggles with brakes, visibility, and lights and electrics, all exhibiting higher defect rates compared to average cars. These findings suggest that the Vito may require more attention in specific areas despite its strengths in others.
