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.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-2 years | 9.5% failed (34 of 358) | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 3-5 years | 14.1% failed (3327 of 23584) | 10.4% failed (2838 of 27270) | 2.8% failed (29 of 1040) | 13.2% failed (78 of 592) | No data |
| 6-8 years | 23.4% failed (5648 of 24109) | 17.7% failed (6734 of 38021) | 3.5% failed (46 of 1305) | 34% failed (582 of 1714) | Too few inspections |
| 9-11 years | 30.2% failed (5501 of 18202) | 26.3% failed (7766 of 29483) | No data | 48.6% failed (791 of 1629) | 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.
