Fiat Fiorino 2018: MOT failure rate for its age
29.0% of 1,686 MOT tests of the Fiat Fiorino first registered in 2018 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 100.5 (95% CI 91.6–109.5; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2018 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 | 29.0 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 1686 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 91.6–109.5) | 100.5 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 1686 |
| Rank among this model's 13 build years | 7 | of 13 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 1686 |
| Tested in 2024 | 408 | tests | median 59,195 miles | 2024 | 408 |

How does the 2018 Fiat Fiorino fail at each age?
Cars built in 2018 were tested at ages 3 to 6 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 419 (rough estimate) | 22.2 | 18.5–26.4 | 24.7 | 89.7 |
| 4 | 439 (rough estimate) | 30.8 | 26.6–35.2 | 26.3 | 117 |
| 5 | 420 (rough estimate) | 31.4 | 27.2–36 | 30.1 | 104.4 |
| 6 | 408 (rough estimate) | 31.6 | 27.3–36.3 | 34.5 | 91.6 |

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.
