Quick summary
Total: 280 cars
The 2001 Toyota Hiace has a slightly higher overall defect rate of 399 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 8% above the average for its year at 369 defects per 100. Notably, the vehicle excels in brake and steering issues, with significantly lower defect rates compared to the average, particularly in steering where it performs much better than typical models. However, it struggles with visibility and defects related to wheels, suspension, and body structure, showing rates considerably higher than average. As mileage increases, the defect rate also rises, especially in the higher mileage categories, indicating potential concerns for older vehicles in this model range.
