agree  Michael Beijer: or ‘breakdown history’ / true, but it is not clear from the context which is meant (the Dutch term ‘storing’ can mean many things). in the context of home appliances, the term ‘breakdown history’ is just as commonly used. e.g. re boilers
2 hrs
  -> a fault does not necessarily result in a breakdown
