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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6-8 years | 31.4% failed (2511 of 7999) | No data | No data | 46.8% failed (94 of 201) | Too few inspections |
| 9-11 years | 37.1% failed (5202 of 14008) | No data | No data | 52.7% failed (261 of 495) | 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.
