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 | 27.8% failed (4067 of 14616) | 20.2% failed (660 of 3262) | No data | 29.9% failed (189 of 632) | Too few inspections |
| 6-8 years | 36.1% failed (8664 of 24033) | 29.3% failed (3041 of 10392) | 5% failed (208 of 4134) | 37.8% failed (1303 of 3452) | 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.
