Go to B-MaxInspections 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6-8 years | 31.2% failed (2239 of 7175) | 28.1% failed (3022 of 10771) | No data | Too few inspections | Too few inspections |
| 9-11 years | 34.6% failed (6571 of 18992) | 32.1% failed (10669 of 33261) | No data | 47.8% failed (153 of 320) | Too few inspections |
| 12-14 years | 39.2% failed (2294 of 5847) | 36.9% failed (3538 of 9599) | No data | 52.9% failed (156 of 295) | 62.8% failed (194 of 309) |
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.
