Fiat Scudo 2013: MOT failure rate for its age
41.1% of 2,764 MOT tests of the Fiat Scudo 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 94.0 (95% CI 88.6–99.5; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2013 Fiat Scudo fails less often than other build 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 | 41.1 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 2764 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 88.6–99.5) | 94.0 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 2764 |
| Rank among this model's 17 build years | 1 | of 17 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 2764 |
| Tested in 2024 | 425 | tests | median 117,828 miles | 2024 | 425 |

How does the 2013 Fiat Scudo 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 | 491 (rough estimate) | 35 | 30.9–39.4 | 38.1 | 92 |
| 7 | 456 (rough estimate) | 39.5 | 35.1–44 | 41.9 | 94.1 |

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.
