Quick summary

Total: 158 cars

The 1990 Volkswagen Camper has an overall defect rate of 345 per 100 vehicles, which is 35% higher than the average for its year at 256 per 100. This model shows a significant increase in defects with higher mileage, particularly in the 31,000 to 62,000 miles range, where it far exceeds the average defect rate. Notably, while it performs better in the Equipment category, it struggles with higher rates of issues in Brakes, Steering, Visibility, and Suspension compared to the average for its year. This indicates that while the Camper may have advantages in certain areas, it also faces considerable challenges in key safety and performance categories.
