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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-5 years | No data | 14.5% failed (889 of 6130) | No data | Too few inspections | No data |
| 6-8 years | No data | 17% failed (1985 of 11699) | No data | 34.2% failed (144 of 421) | Too few inspections |
| 9-11 years | No data | 27.2% failed (2125 of 7802) | No data | 47.2% failed (128 of 271) | 47.4% failed (129 of 272) |

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.
