Ford Tourneo Custom 2017: MOT failure rate for its age
19.0% of 211 MOT tests of the Ford Tourneo Custom first registered in 2017 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 97.2 (95% CI 67.1–127.4; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2017 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 | 19.0 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 211 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 67.1–127.4) | 97.2 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 211 |
| Rank among this model's 4 build years | 3 | of 4 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 211 |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 39 (rough estimate) | 20.5 | 10.8–35.5 | 19.5 | 105 |
| 4 | 46 (rough estimate) | 23.9 | 13.9–37.9 | 19.8 | 120.8 |

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.
