Quick summary
Total: 1,409 cars
The 2015 Renault Grand Scenic has an overall defect rate of 232 per 100 vehicles, which is 36% higher than the average for cars of the same year, recorded at 170 per 100. The model shows a notable increase in defect rates with mileage, particularly in the higher mileage categories, where it exceeds average rates significantly. While it performs better than average in body structure and other categories, it has considerable issues with brakes, steering, and lights and electrics, with defect rates substantially higher than the average. These findings suggest that while the Grand Scenic excels in certain areas, it also faces critical challenges in safety-related components as mileage increases.
