Ford Puma 2019: MOT failure rate for its age

4.2% of 356 MOT tests of the Ford Puma 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 54.7 (95% CI 27.0–82.4; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2019 Ford Puma fails less often than other build years of the same model at the same age. This is a rough estimate from a smaller sample.
