Methodology

Each row compares inspections from the same age band, in the same country.

The country index puts the model's defect rate on a scale. On that scale, 100 is the country average for that band.

We only compare two models if they share at least two age bands.

What counts as a failed inspection differs per country. So never compare these figures with figures from another country.
