Fiat Scudo 2012: MOT failure rate for its age
46.4% of 3,289 MOT tests of the Fiat Scudo first registered in 2012 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 99.5 (95% CI 94.5–104.5; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2012 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 | 46.4 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 3289 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 94.5–104.5) | 99.5 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 3289 |
| Rank among this model's 17 build years | 11 | of 17 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 3289 |
| Tested in 2024 | 481 | tests | median 118,126 miles | 2024 | 481 |

How does the 2012 Fiat Scudo fail at each age?
Cars built in 2012 were tested at ages 7 to 12 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 614 | 43.2 | 39.3–47.1 | 45.2 | 95.4 |
| 8 | 581 | 43.9 | 39.9–48 | 42.9 | 102.4 |

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.
