Fiat Qubo 2017: MOT failure rate for its age

22.8% of 421 MOT tests of the Fiat Qubo first registered in 2017 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 75.1 (95% CI 60.1–90.1; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2017 Fiat Qubo fails less often than other build years of the same model at the same age. This is a rough estimate from a smaller sample.
