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 | 19.3% failed (117 of 605) | No data | 2.1% failed (25 of 1179) | No data | No data |
| 3-5 years | 19.3% failed (5422 of 28158) | 10.4% failed (5704 of 54834) | 4.6% failed (98 of 2127) | 15.4% failed (864 of 5596) | 16.6% failed (436 of 2631) |

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.
