Insurance rating class (Germany)
Always correct for age. A group of younger cars is not automatically more reliable
GDV rating class: IS
According to the GDV rating-class register (rate year 2024), IS has KH 16-18 (scale 10-25), VK 17-29 (scale 10-34), TK 18-27 (scale 10-33). Note: this range comes from 18 known engine variants in this rate year. GDV only looks at make and model here, not at the generation. With a count this high, several model generations may be pooled together. Note: this is an index figure or rating class, an insurance statistic about the whole model. It is not a chance of defects and not a prediction for this car.
Inspections 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-2 years | No data | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 3-5 years | No data | 9.7% failed (134 of 1377) | No data | Too few inspections | No data |
| 6-8 years | No data | 10.8% failed (480 of 4447) | No data | 27.3% failed (127 of 466) | Too few inspections |
| 9-11 years | No data | 15.2% failed (1120 of 7356) | No data | 34.5% failed (460 of 1335) | Too few inspections |
| 12-14 years | No data | 18.8% failed (478 of 2537) | No data | 46.5% failed (241 of 518) | Too few inspections |
| 15-19 years | No data | 29.5% failed (3859 of 13083) | No data | 62% failed (464 of 748) | Too few inspections |
| 20-24 years | No data | 33.1% failed (1005 of 3040) | No data | No data | No data |
| 25-30 years | No data | No data | No data | No data | 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.
