MINI Hatch in the Netherlands: does it fail inspections more than average?

In the Netherlands, 48.9% of 84,901 APK periodic inspections of the MINI Hatch in 2024 found a fault that fails the inspection, 1.9 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 MINI Hatch do in each country it is inspected in?

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