Defect rate by model year
The Renault Wind, a compact convertible, was introduced in 2010 as a part of Renault's effort to capture the growing market for stylish and affordable small cars. Known for its distinctive design and fun driving experience, the Wind aimed to appeal to those looking for a summer car without breaking the bank. However, the Wind's reliability has been a point of interest for potential buyers, particularly as it ages.
In terms of general reliability, the Renault Wind has performed slightly better than the average car in its class for both 2010 and 2011. The 2010 model recorded 252 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 14% lower than the average of 294 defects for that year. Similarly, the 2011 model showed an improvement with 239 defects, marking an 11.8% reduction compared to the average of 271 defects. This data suggests that the Wind may have a solid reputation for reliability within its segment during these early years.
However, the Wind does face some recurring issues that are worth noting. Common problems identified during MOT inspections include insecure or fractured brake components, as well as issues related to tyre condition, such as bulges or insufficient tread depth. While these issues are not unique to the Wind, they highlight the importance of regular maintenance and inspection for any vehicle, particularly in a convertible where wear may be more pronounced due to exposure to the elements.
Overall, the Renault Wind has demonstrated a commendable reliability record compared to its peers in the same years. The models from 2010 and 2011 show an encouraging trend for potential buyers, suggesting that with proper care and attention, the Wind can be a dependable choice.
