Quick summary

Total: 12,848 cars

The 2018 Vauxhall Crossland shows a notably higher overall defect rate compared to the average car of the same year, with 158 defects per 100 vehicles, which is 31% more than the average of 120. Notably, the model has significant challenges in the brakes and body/structure categories, exhibiting defects at rates of 113 and 48 per 100 vehicles, respectively, both considerably worse than the averages. Conversely, the Crossland excels in steering, visibility, and lights & electrics, with defect rates significantly lower than the yearly averages. Additionally, as mileage increases, defect rates for the model rise sharply, particularly in the higher mileage segments, indicating a trend that may warrant attention. Overall, while the Crossland performs well in certain areas, its overall defect rate and specific issues suggest it may require more vigilance from owners compared to its peers.
