Exclusive: Hard data from Czech vehicle inspection stations. These cars often disappoint at the first inspection

A recent analysis reveals that certain car models in the Czech Republic are more likely to fail their first technical inspection after four years. While the average failure rate is only 2.5%, some models, particularly from Renault and Dacia, show significantly higher rates. The study, conducted by Carvago, highlights that issues with lights and electrical systems are common reasons for failure. Interestingly, even low-mileage cars like the Hyundai i10 can have a higher likelihood of failing due to serious defects. The findings suggest that potential buyers of these models should pay extra attention to specific components during inspections.
