|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6-8 years | 34.9% failed (2164 of 6198) | 20% failed (6308 of 31605) | No data | 28.3% failed (191 of 674) | Too few inspections |

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.
