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 | 44.7% failed (12011 of 26887) | 31.6% failed (6517 of 20610) | No data | 46.7% failed (122 of 261) | Too few inspections |
| 12-14 years | 49.1% failed (32717 of 66697) | 36.2% failed (5768 of 15944) | No data | 54.6% failed (277 of 507) | Too few inspections |
| 15-19 years | 52.4% failed (18097 of 34554) | 42% failed (3448 of 8216) | No data | 57.6% failed (136 of 236) | 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.
