Quick summary
Total: 420 cars
The 2001 Suzuki Ignis has an overall defect rate of 412 per 100 vehicles, which is 11.5% higher than the average for cars of the same year. Notably, the Ignis shows a concerning trend in specific categories such as brakes, lights and electrics, and wheels, suspensions, and axles, where it significantly exceeds the average defect rates. Conversely, it performs better in categories like equipment and other defects, with rates considerably lower than the yearly average. Mileage trends indicate that defect rates increase as mileage goes up, particularly in the higher mileages. Overall, while the Ignis excels in fewer defect categories, its brake and suspension issues stand out as areas of concern.
