Fiat Bravo 2011: MOT failure rate for its age
42.8% of 2,896 MOT tests of the Fiat Bravo first registered in 2011 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 96.5 (95% CI 91.2–101.9; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2011 build year is no different from other 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 | 42.8 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 2896 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 91.2–101.9) | 96.5 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 2896 |
| Rank among this model's 7 build years | 4 | of 7 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 2896 |
| Tested in 2024 | 382 | tests | median 92,295 miles | 2024 | 382 |

How does the 2011 Fiat Bravo fail at each age?
Cars built in 2011 were tested at ages 8 to 13 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 565 | 36.6 | 32.8–40.7 | 39.8 | 92 |
| 9 | 524 | 40.3 | 36.2–44.5 | 42 | 95.9 |
| 10 | 499 (rough estimate) | 43.9 | 39.6–48.3 | 45.1 | 97.3 |
| 11 | 482 (rough estimate) | 43.6 | 39.2–48 | 46.5 | 93.6 |
| 12 | 444 (rough estimate) | 49.3 | 44.7–54 | 46.5 | 106.1 |
| 13 | 382 (rough estimate) | 45 | 40.1–50 | 47.5 | 94.7 |

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.
