| Age | Netherlands | United Kingdom | Czechia | Ireland | NO |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-5 years | 25.4% failed (2512 of 9907) | 18.4% failed (3342 of 18163) | No data | 33.9% failed (138 of 407) | Too few inspections |
| 6-8 years | 32% failed (5878 of 18385) | 27.9% failed (11120 of 39862) | No data | 39.2% failed (1323 of 3372) | 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.
