Quick summary
Total: 4,560 cars
The 2013 Toyota Hilux has a higher overall defect rate compared to the average car of the same year, with 270 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 23% more than the average of 219. This model shows increasing defects with mileage, particularly in the highest mileage category where the rate reaches 446 defects per 100 vehicles. Notably, the Hilux performs better than average in steering and wheels, suspensions, and axles, but significantly worse in the categories of brakes, visibility, lights and electrics, body/structure, and equipment. These findings suggest that while the Hilux excels in certain areas, it may require more attention in critical safety and performance features as it ages.
