Inspection statistics (Ireland)
Always correct for age. A group of younger cars is not automatically more reliable
15 to 19 years: 709 inspections
Official inspection point: Steering, suspension, wheels and tyres
Note: these are fail items, not tests. One car can fail on several items in the same test. This figure can therefore be higher than the share of cars that failed. 384 fail items across 709 Irish inspection data, age 15-19 yr.
Official inspection point: Braking equipment

Insurance rating class (Germany)
Always correct for age. A group of younger cars is not automatically more reliable
GDV rating class: CLK
According to the GDV rating-class register (rate year 2024), CLK has KH 11-19 (scale 10-25), VK 12-33 (scale 10-34), TK 16-30 (scale 10-33). Note: this range comes from 80 known engine variants in this rate year. GDV only looks at make and model here, not at the generation. With a count this high, several model generations may be pooled together. Note: this is an index figure or rating class, an insurance statistic about the whole model. It is not a chance of defects and not a prediction for this car.
Inspections by country and age
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-2 years | No data | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 3-5 years | No data | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 6-8 years | No data | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 9-11 years | No data | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 12-14 years | Too few inspections | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 15-19 years | 40.8% failed (1128 of 2763) | 38.6% failed (6353 of 16441) | No data | 57.8% failed (410 of 709) | Too few inspections |
| 20-24 years | 42.6% failed (2767 of 6500) | 34.6% failed (1992 of 5765) | No data | No data | No data |
| 25-30 years | 39.8% failed (898 of 2258) | 30.6% failed (688 of 2250) | No data | No data | No data |
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.
