Older speedos were quite optimistic, 5% over was quite common as they were analog instruments and designed to be sure to never under-indicate the speed (so that no one could claim to be not speeding according to the speedo when actually driving over the speed limit).
However, recent cars generally have electronic speedos that are quite accurate. If our car (a 2018 model) shows 115 km/h, it's generally within 1% of what my phone will also show, using its GPS.
