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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9-11 years | 43.7% failed (122 of 279) | 25.2% failed (1157 of 4601) | No data | No data | Too few inspections |
| 12-14 years | 48.1% failed (199 of 414) | 33.9% failed (882 of 2601) | No data | No data | 57.8% failed (171 of 296) |
| 15-19 years | 54.2% failed (977 of 1802) | 40.1% failed (3878 of 9677) | No data | Too few inspections | 68.9% failed (518 of 752) |

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.
