This table shows, per age, how many cars of this model fail inspection, by country. An index of 100 is that country's average for that age.
| Age | Netherlands | United Kingdom | Czechia | Ireland | NO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-5 years | 27.4% failed (2181 of 7950) | 24.2% failed (7074 of 29213) | 4% failed (138 of 3464) | 44.4% failed (564 of 1269) | Too few inspections |
| 6-8 years | 35.3% failed (2350 of 6651) | 30.9% failed (7419 of 24036) | 6% failed (556 of 9213) | 51.6% failed (1743 of 3375) | 54.4% failed (136 of 250) |
| 9-11 years | 39.9% failed (2691 of 6745) | 40.1% failed (6913 of 17223) | 7.5% failed (130 of 1737) | 63.1% failed (1695 of 2687) | Too few inspections |
Czechia only counts serious defects, severity B or C. The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Norway count every inspection with a real defect.
Finland is not in this table. Finland counts defect points, not cars with a defect.
