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 | 9.9% failed (30 of 302) | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 3-5 years | 13.9% failed (1801 of 12965) | 12.9% failed (2383 of 18496) | 1.9% failed (20 of 1029) | 21.7% failed (317 of 1461) | 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.
