Quick summary
Total: 4,139 cars
The 2011 Renault Scenic has a higher overall defect rate of 302 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 11% worse than the average for cars of the same year at 271 defects per 100. Notably, it shows a concerning trend in the oldest mileage bracket, with a significant increase in defects as mileage rises, particularly for those over 124,000 miles. While it performs better than average in body and structure defects, it is worse in critical areas such as brakes, steering, and lights and electrics. These findings suggest that while the Scenic may be reliable in some aspects, it faces notable challenges in safety-related components as vehicles age.
