Reliability by Source

Each independent organization measures reliability differently. TÜV reports inspection defect rates by age band. ADAC reports pan-European breakdowns per 1,000 vehicles. NHTSA aggregates US consumer complaints. DVSA MOT data is the UK fleet's annual safety inspection — every car 3+ years old. Lower variance across sources = higher confidence in the composite.

Infotainment touchscreen freeze / climate control loss
Typical at 60,000–150,000 km
T9 308 (and 3008/5008 cousins) central touchscreen also controls climate; failure means no AC + radio. Software updates help some, head unit replaces others.
