Quick summary

Total: 22,409 cars

The 2018 Toyota Aygo has an overall defect rate of 124 defects per 100 vehicles, which is slightly higher than the yearly average of 120 defects per 100 vehicles, indicating a 3.4% increase in issues. Notably, the Aygo performs exceptionally well in categories such as steering, lights and electrics, body/structure, and equipment, with defect rates significantly lower than the average. However, it does struggle with wheels, suspensions, and axles, where its defect rate is 160, compared to the average of 125. Mileage trends show that defects increase with higher mileage, particularly evident in the higher rates for vehicles with over 124,000 miles. Overall, while the Aygo excels in certain areas, its performance in suspension-related defects is a concern.
