Chrysler 300C 2010: MOT failure rate for its age
36.8% of 2,484 MOT tests of the Chrysler 300C first registered in 2010 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 93.1 (95% CI 87.1–99.2; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2010 Chrysler 300C fails less often than other build years of the same model at the same age. This is a rough estimate from a smaller sample.
| Measure | Value | Unit | Compared with | Years | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Failed first time | 36.8 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 2484 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 87.1–99.2) | 93.1 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 2484 |
| Rank among this model's 7 build years | 3 | of 7 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 2484 |
| Tested in 2024 | 365 | tests | median 104,509 miles | 2024 | 365 |

How does the 2010 Chrysler 300C fail at each age?
Cars built in 2010 were tested at ages 9 to 14 between 2019 and 2024. Each row compares their first-time failure share with what this model normally shows at that age, after allowing for the overall failure level of each test year.
| Age | Tests | Failed, % | 95% interval | Normal for this model at that age, % | Index (100 = normal) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 465 (rough estimate) | 42.2 | 37.7–46.7 | 45.8 | 92 |
| 10 | 431 (rough estimate) | 37.1 | 32.7–41.8 | 39.9 | 93 |
| 11 | 422 (rough estimate) | 36 | 31.6–40.7 | 39.1 | 92.1 |
| 12 | 412 (rough estimate) | 34 | 29.6–38.7 | 36.9 | 92 |
| 13 | 389 (rough estimate) | 32.4 | 27.9–37.2 | 37 | 87.5 |
| 14 | 365 (rough estimate) | 38.4 | 33.5–43.4 | 37 | 103.7 |

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.
