Kia Ceed in the Netherlands: does it fail inspections more than average?

In the Netherlands, 26.3% of 4,237 APK periodic inspections of the Kia Ceed in 2024 found a fault that fails the inspection, 24.5 points below the 50.8% average for all cars inspected there. Inspection rules differ from the UK MOT, so the comparison is with the Netherlands' own average only.

How does the Kia Ceed do in each country it is inspected in?

Each row sets the Kia Ceed against that country's own average; the rules and the car fleets differ between countries, so rows are not compared with each other directly.
