Quick summary

The 2012 Toyota Auris has a slightly higher overall defect rate than the average car of the same year, with 253 defects per 100 vehicles compared to 246. While tyre wear is a common issue across all models, this vehicle stands out in specific categories. It performs significantly better in the "Other" defects category, with only 6 defects per 100, compared to the average of 23. However, it shows a notable weakness in brakes and steering, with defect rates of 163 and 19 per 100 respectively, which are higher than the averages of 107 and 13. The data shows that as the mileage increases, the defect rate for the Auris also rises, suggesting potential reliability concerns for higher-mileage vehicles.
