| 0-2 years | Too few inspections | No data | 1.2% failed (15 of 1205) | No data | No data |
| 3-5 years | 22.5% failed (914 of 4059) | 12.6% failed (661 of 5253) | 3.3% failed (290 of 8846) | 17.8% failed (114 of 641) | 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.
