No defects is the best technical inspection verdict: the inspector recorded no defect of any kind. It is one step of the four-level scale, together with minor, major and dangerous defects.
Is "no defects" the same as passing the inspection?
Not quite. Cars with minor defects pass too. The first-time pass rate shown on Caropen therefore includes both verdicts, and the "no defects" share is always smaller.
How often do cars pass with no defects?
It depends strongly on age and model. Every model-year page shows its verdict mix – for example Toyota Avensis 2008 – and the national statistics show the whole country.
Where can I compare models?
The reliability rankings rank models within age bands, and the list of makes sorts by pass rate and volume.
