The 2012 Nissan GT-R shows a significantly lower overall defect rate compared to the average vehicle of the same year, with only 47 defects per 100 cars against an average of 246. Notably, the GT-R excels in categories such as brakes, steering, and visibility, exhibiting remarkable reductions in fault rates compared to the average. The model also performs exceptionally well in lights and electrics, as well as body and structure, demonstrating a robust reliability profile. However, there is a concerning spike in defects for vehicles exceeding 124,000 miles, which may indicate higher wear and tear as mileage increases. Overall, the GT-R stands out for its performance and reliability, particularly in critical safety aspects.
