BMW X1 2019: MOT failure rate for its age
10.4% of 41,897 MOT tests of the BMW X1 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 99.8 (95% CI 96.8–102.7; 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.
| Measure | Value | Unit | Compared with | Years | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Failed first time | 10.4 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 41897 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 96.8–102.7) | 99.8 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 41897 |
| Rank among this model's 12 build years | 5 | of 12 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 41897 |

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.
