Quick summary

Total: 524 cars

The 2023 Renault Master exhibits a notably higher overall defect rate than the average car of the same year, with 59 defects per 100 vehicles compared to 36. While the model excels in steering and wheels, suspensions, and axles, it shows significant weaknesses in several categories, particularly brakes, visibility, and lights and electrics. The defect rates increase with mileage, particularly in the 62,000 to 93,000 mile range, suggesting that this vehicle may face more challenges as it ages. Overall, while tyre wear is a common issue in many vehicles, it is overshadowed by the Renault Master's pronounced defects in critical areas.
