Quick summary
Total: 495 cars
The 2006 Toyota Hiace shows a slightly lower overall defect rate of 368 defects per 100 vehicles compared to the yearly average of 369. While tyre wear is a common issue across vehicles, this model particularly excels in steering and equipment categories, with defect rates significantly lower than average. However, it falls short in visibility, where defects are notably higher than the average. Mileage trends indicate that as the vehicle ages, defects increase, especially in higher mileage brackets. Overall, the Hiace performs reasonably well, with key strengths in some areas but a notable weakness in visibility.
