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 | Too few inspections | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 3-5 years | 22.7% failed (2272 of 9991) | 11.4% failed (2719 of 23856) | No data | 15.3% failed (57 of 372) | 11.5% failed (73 of 637) |
| 6-8 years | 30.5% failed (3053 of 10022) | 18.5% failed (5093 of 27590) | No data | 24% failed (166 of 691) | 30.5% failed (460 of 1508) |
| 9-11 years | 41.2% failed (8023 of 19495) | 27.3% failed (8583 of 31393) | No data | 39.2% failed (449 of 1146) | 41.8% failed (263 of 629) |
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.
