Defect rate by model year

Comparison of Volkswagen CC versus average car of the same model year.

The Volkswagen CC, a stylish four-door coupe, debuted in 2008 as a premium offering from the German automaker. Positioned as a blend of practicality and elegance, the CC was designed to appeal to buyers seeking a sporty yet refined driving experience. Over the years, it has garnered attention for its distinctive design and comfortable interior, but how does it fare in terms of reliability?

When examining the reliability of the Volkswagen CC from 2011 to 2017, it generally performs close to or slightly below the average for its model years. In 2011, the CC recorded a defect rate of 264 defects per 100 vehicles, which is marginally better than the average of 271 defects for that year. The model saw significant improvement in 2012, with a defect rate of 210, representing a notable 15% reduction compared to the average of 246. However, in 2015, its defect rate rose to 192, which was higher than the average of 170 for that year, indicating a dip in reliability.

Recurring issues across the years predominantly involve suspension components and brake system concerns. Problems related to tyre tread depth and excessive wear of suspension parts were frequently noted, alongside brake components that were either worn or insecure. While these issues can affect many vehicles and are not unique to the CC, they are worth noting for potential buyers and owners.

The years 2012 and 2013 stand out as particularly strong performers, with defect rates lower than the average, while 2017 marks a peak in defects at 166, significantly exceeding the average of 134 for that model year. This suggests that while the CC has had its ups and downs, it has shown potential for decent reliability, especially in the earlier years.
