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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20-24 years | 53.1% failed (12736 of 23979) | 47.3% failed (9029 of 19085) | No data | No data | No data |
| 25-30 years | 50.5% failed (3242 of 6422) | 45.7% failed (3430 of 7508) | 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.
