Quick summary
Total: 2,561 cars
The 2018 Toyota Proace shows a significantly higher overall defect rate, with 159 defects per 100 vehicles compared to the yearly average of 120. This model particularly stands out for its issues with brakes and visibility, both of which exceed average rates by notable margins. However, it performs better than average in categories such as steering and wheels, suspensions, and axles. There is a clear trend of increasing defects with mileage, especially in the highest mileage category, which is consistent with typical vehicle wear. Overall, while the Proace excels in certain areas, its higher defect rate in critical systems raises concerns.
