Fiat Fiorino 2008: MOT failure rate for its age
50.1% of 968 MOT tests of the Fiat Fiorino first registered in 2008 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 108.9 (95% CI 99.2–118.6; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2008 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 | 50.1 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 968 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 99.2–118.6) | 108.9 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 968 |
| Rank among this model's 13 build years | 12 | of 13 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 968 |
| Tested in 2024 | 140 | tests | median 119,117 miles | 2024 | 140 |

How does the 2008 Fiat Fiorino fail at each age?
Cars built in 2008 were tested at ages 11 to 16 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.

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.
