Quick summary
Total: 5,310 cars
The 2022 Skoda Kodiaq has a notably higher overall defect rate, with 89 defects per 100 vehicles compared to the average of 70 defects for cars of the same year, reflecting an increase of about 27%. The model shows significant mileage-related trends, particularly in the 31,000 to 62,000 miles category, where its defect rate reaches 241, compared to the average of 228. While it performs exceptionally well in categories like steering and visibility, with much lower defect rates than average, it falls short in brakes and wheel/suspension issues, where it significantly exceeds the average defect rates. Overall, despite some positive aspects, the Kodiaq's higher defect rates in certain critical areas suggest it may require closer scrutiny as it ages.
