Quick summary

Total: 11,060 cars

The 2019 Volkswagen Caddy has an overall defect rate of 120 per 100 vehicles, which is 13.5% higher than the average of 106 per 100 for its year. The model shows a significant increase in defects with mileage, particularly in the highest mileage range, where it reaches 285 defects per 100 vehicles. While the Caddy excels in steering issues, with a markedly lower defect rate compared to the average, it has notable drawbacks in visibility, lights and electrics, equipment, and other categories, where its rates are considerably higher than average. This suggests that while the Caddy may be strong in certain areas, it faces challenges that potential buyers should consider.
