Quick summary
Total: 1,423 cars
The 2011 Renault Wind has an overall defect rate of 239 per 100 vehicles, which is 12% lower than the yearly average of 271 per 100 vehicles. Notably, the model performs better than average in categories such as visibility and lights and electrics, with significantly fewer defects reported compared to the average car. However, it stands out negatively in the brakes and steering categories, showing higher defect rates than the average. Mileage-related trends indicate that defect rates increase as mileage increases, particularly evident in the 93,000 to 124,000 miles segment, where the Renault Wind has a notably high defect rate. Overall, while the model excels in certain areas, there are critical concerns with braking and steering that potential buyers should consider.
