Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2023 VF 8
Too few complaints on the 2023 VF 8 list a mileage to say when owners reported problems: 4 of its 40 complaints list a mileage (5 to 7,000 miles), and a median is given here only with 10 or more.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2023 VF 8 wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.
Is the 2023 VF 8 a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2023 is a good or a bad VF 8: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2023 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 40 complaints, the 2023 drew the most of the 2 VinFast VF 8 model years from 2023 to 2024 with 10 or more complaints. The fewest: the 2024 (19).
The 2023 is a recent model year: it has had less time than older years to collect complaints, so its count is still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 (this page) | 40 | 4 | Under 10 mileages |
| 2024 VF 8 | 19 | 4 | Under 10 mileages |

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2023 VF 8 lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2023 VF 8.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 36 of the 40 complaints on the 2023 VinFast VF 8 give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA name counted: VF 8. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
- Recall-file name matched: VF 8.
