Fiat Bravo 2010: MOT failure rate for its age
43.7% of 4,942 MOT tests of the Fiat Bravo 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 93.3 (95% CI 89.4–97.3; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2010 Fiat Bravo fails less often than other build 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.
