Quick summary

The 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 has an overall defect rate of 32 per 100 vehicles, which is 10% lower than the average for cars of the same year at 36 per 100. Notably, the ID.4 excels in categories such as brakes and steering, showing significantly fewer defects compared to the average, with brake issues at just 1% and no steering defects reported. However, it faces challenges with wheels, suspensions, and axles, where defects are higher than the average, and also has a slightly increased rate of body structure issues. Mileage trends indicate that defect rates rise with higher mileage, particularly in the 93,000–124,000 miles segment, but the ID.4 maintains a generally better performance across lower mileage categories compared to its peers.
