Quick summary
Total: 113 cars
The 2005 Mitsubishi Canter has an overall defect rate of 394 per 100 vehicles, which is 5% higher than the average of 376 per 100 vehicles for the same year. This model shows particularly strong performance in the Wheels, Suspensions & Axles category, with a defect rate significantly lower than average. However, it underperforms in several critical areas, including Brakes and Steering, where defect rates are notably higher than the yearly average. Additionally, the Canter exhibits a concerning trend in visibility-related defects, which are more frequent compared to other vehicles. Overall, while the Canter excels in specific categories, its higher defect rates in essential systems may be a cause for concern.
