Go to VengaInspections 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6-8 years | 26.5% failed (2147 of 8115) | 15.4% failed (2137 of 13907) | No data | 25.8% failed (97 of 376) | Too few inspections |
| 9-11 years | 35.8% failed (5847 of 16321) | 30.4% failed (5105 of 16777) | No data | 48.9% failed (432 of 883) | Too few inspections |
| 12-14 years | 46% failed (10405 of 22620) | 42.6% failed (5515 of 12937) | No data | 65.3% failed (438 of 671) | 58.9% failed (265 of 450) |
| 15-19 years | 49.7% failed (2619 of 5275) | No data | No data | Too few inspections | 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.
