Fiat Scudo 2000: MOT failure rate for its age
51.8% of 743 MOT tests of the Fiat Scudo first registered in 2000 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 100.4 (95% CI 90.4–110.4; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2000 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 | 51.8 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 743 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 90.4–110.4) | 100.4 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 743 |
| Rank among this model's 17 build years | 13 | of 17 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 743 |

How does the 2000 Fiat Scudo fail at each age?
Cars built in 2000 were tested at ages 19 to 22 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 19 | 459 (rough estimate) | 54.7 | 50.1–59.2 | 54.7 | 100 |
| 20 | 284 (rough estimate) | 47.2 | 41.5–53 | 46.7 | 101.1 |

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.
