| 6-8 years | 30.3% failed (4930 of 16274) | 17.8% failed (5434 of 30473) | 2.6% failed (94 of 3677) | 26.9% failed (754 of 2807) | 27.4% failed (147 of 537) |

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.
