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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12-14 years | 51.9% failed (7614 of 14657) | No data | No data | No data | No data |
| 15-19 years | 51.9% failed (21701 of 41822) | 45.2% failed (8313 of 18407) | 10.9% failed (288 of 2644) | 68.4% failed (249 of 364) | Too few inspections |
| 20-24 years | 53.3% failed (33175 of 62255) | 47.3% failed (6182 of 13056) | 12.8% failed (1729 of 13558) | 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.
