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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9-11 years | 29.5% failed (7363 of 24949) | No data | 5.8% failed (83 of 1426) | Too few inspections | Too few inspections |
| 12-14 years | 35% failed (10908 of 31180) | No data | No data | 55.2% failed (176 of 319) | 61.7% failed (267 of 433) |
| 15-19 years | 38.9% failed (1598 of 4112) | No data | No data | 72.3% failed (263 of 364) | 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.
