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 | 41.2% failed (8023 of 19495) | 27.3% failed (8583 of 31393) | No data | 39.2% failed (449 of 1146) | 41.8% failed (263 of 629) |
| 12-14 years | 47.8% failed (15613 of 32663) | 36.8% failed (7704 of 20959) | No data | 49.4% failed (855 of 1731) | 60.5% failed (1215 of 2010) |
| 15-19 years | 52.9% failed (32676 of 61792) | 47.7% failed (11842 of 24833) | 9.8% failed (104 of 1057) | 64.4% failed (1726 of 2680) | 68.9% failed (839 of 1217) |
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.
