Audi Q8 2019: MOT failure rate for its age
9.3% of 5,268 MOT tests of the Audi Q8 first registered in 2019 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 104.4 (95% CI 95.2–113.7; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2019 build year is no different from other years of the same model at the same age.

How every figure is calculated: methodology. Age, test year and build year are tied together (age = test year − build year), so the test-year level is taken as observed, not estimated.
