Quick summary

Total: 518 cars

The 2022 Volkswagen E-UP has an overall defect rate of 72 per 100 vehicles, slightly higher than the average of 70 per 100 for cars of the same year. Notably, this model excels in categories such as brakes, steering, and visibility, with significantly lower defect rates compared to the average. However, it shows a concerning trend in the wheels, suspensions, and axles category, where its defect rate is notably higher at 127 per 100 vehicles. The data also indicates increased defect rates for cars in the lower mileage brackets, particularly between 0 and 62,000 miles, suggesting potential early wear issues. Overall, while the E-UP performs well in many areas, the higher rate of suspension-related defects could be a point of concern for owners.
