Insurance rating class (Germany)
Always correct for age. A group of younger cars is not automatically more reliable
GDV rating class: Fortwo
According to the GDV rating-class register (rate year 2024), Fortwo has KH 11-17 (scale 10-25), VK 10-16 (scale 10-34), TK 11-24 (scale 10-33). Note: this range comes from 49 known engine variants in this rate year. GDV only looks at make and model here, not at the generation. With a count this high, several model generations may be pooled together. Note: this is an index figure or rating class, an insurance statistic about the whole model. It is not a chance of defects and not a prediction for this car.
Inspections by country and age
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-2 years | No data | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 3-5 years | No data | 9.6% failed (159 of 1649) | No data | No data | Too few inspections |
| 6-8 years | No data | 20.1% failed (2391 of 11889) | No data | No data | Too few inspections |
| 9-11 years | No data | 25.3% failed (2494 of 9871) | No data | No data | Too few inspections |
| 12-14 years | No data | 31.6% failed (3221 of 10204) | No data | No data | Too few inspections |
| 15-19 years | No data | 37.7% failed (6967 of 18471) | No data | No data | Too few inspections |
| 20-24 years | No data | 40% failed (982 of 2455) | No data | No data | No data |
| 25-30 years | No data | No data | No data | No data | No data |
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.
