Ford Tourneo 2013: MOT failure rate for its age
32.0% of 2,984 MOT tests of the Ford Tourneo 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 103.3 (95% CI 96.8–109.9; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2013 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 | 32.0 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 2984 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 96.8–109.9) | 103.3 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 2984 |
| Rank among this model's 8 build years | 7 | of 8 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 2984 |
| Tested in 2024 | 485 | tests | median 117,704 miles | 2024 | 485 |

How does the 2013 Ford Tourneo 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 | 523 | 26.6 | 23–30.5 | 27.3 | 97.2 |
| 7 | 478 (rough estimate) | 28.2 | 24.4–32.4 | 29 | 97.3 |

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.
