Failed means the check found what it looks for. A warning is a reason to ask, not a reason to walk away. The last column is the denominator: twelve checks out of twenty-eight are silent on most cars because the listing carries nothing for them to read, and a share of the whole board would be a lie for those.
Checks that lack the data
These answer «no data» on most listings, and that is also an answer: a transit plate against the customs checkbox, damage declared, fault stated by the seller, impact marks in the photographs, no technical inspection, reposted after a price cut.
Where the numbers come from
Listings are read from myauto.ge, auto.ge and autopapa.ge every ten minutes. worker/checks.py computes them and the table is rebuilt every three hours. No check looks at a car with eyes: it compares what the listing says against other listings, against the price history and against public registers.
