What this does not show
  • The country index is an average across the entire fleet of this model in this country, not a failure probability for one specific vehicle.
  • A complaint share is a share of reported complaints, not a failure probability for all vehicles of this model.
  • The age correction is already built into each band; differences between generations or trims within the same model are not.
  • These figures apply to United Kingdom and are not directly comparable to a figure from another country.

Methodology

Each row compares inspections from the same age band, in the same country.

The country index rescales the model's defect rate so that 100 equals the country average for that band.

Two models are only compared if they share at least two age bands.

What counts as a failed inspection differs per country; never compare a figure on this page with a figure from another country.
