Fiat Qubo 2013: MOT failure rate for its age
32.8% of 3,822 MOT tests of the Fiat Qubo first registered in 2013 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 98.0 (95% CI 92.6–103.4; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2013 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 | 32.8 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 3822 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 92.6–103.4) | 98.0 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 3822 |
| Rank among this model's 9 build years | 7 | of 9 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 3822 |
| Tested in 2024 | 604 | tests | median 61,837 miles | 2024 | 604 |

How does the 2013 Fiat Qubo fail at each age?
Cars built in 2013 were tested at ages 6 to 11 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 687 | 30.9 | 27.5–34.4 | 33.6 | 92 |
| 7 | 634 | 32.5 | 29–36.2 | 32.1 | 101.4 |
| 8 | 650 | 34 | 30.5–37.7 | 32.6 | 104.3 |
| 9 | 637 | 28.7 | 25.4–32.4 | 32.6 | 88 |
| 10 | 610 | 35.9 | 32.2–39.8 | 34.1 | 105.3 |
| 11 | 604 | 34.9 | 31.2–38.8 | 35.7 | 97.7 |

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.
