|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-5 years | 20.2% failed (1784 of 8814) | 15.4% failed (2155 of 13972) | 2.7% failed (291 of 10938) | 29.6% failed (403 of 1361) | 31.1% failed (287 of 923) |
| 6-8 years | 25.6% failed (1766 of 6905) | 18.4% failed (4337 of 23535) | 4.1% failed (855 of 20983) | 32.3% failed (1461 of 4530) | 40.6% failed (1021 of 2514) |

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.
