Fiat Talento 2019: MOT failure rate for its age
30.0% of 513 MOT tests of the Fiat Talento first registered in 2019 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 129.4 (95% CI 109.0–149.9; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2019 Fiat Talento fails more 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 | 30.0 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 513 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 109.0–149.9) | 129.4 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 513 |
| Rank among this model's 5 build years | 5 | of 5 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 513 |

How does the 2019 Fiat Talento fail at each age?
Cars built in 2019 were tested at ages 3 to 5 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 179 (rough estimate) | 26.8 | 20.9–33.7 | 17.2 | 155.5 |
| 4 | 173 (rough estimate) | 33.5 | 26.9–40.9 | 26.6 | 126.1 |
| 5 | 161 (rough estimate) | 29.8 | 23.3–37.3 | 26.2 | 114 |

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.
