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 | 13% failed (32 of 247) | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 3-5 years | 28% failed (6708 of 23957) | 18.7% failed (8166 of 43684) | No data | 25.4% failed (168 of 661) | 27.3% failed (512 of 1878) |

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.
