Honda Fit 2011: MOT failure rate for its age
16.6% of 1,982 MOT tests of the Honda Fit first registered in 2011 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 102.5 (95% CI 91.4–113.6; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2011 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.

| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 91.4–113.6) | 102.5 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 1982 |
| Rank among this model's 3 build years | 1 | of 3 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 1982 |

How does the 2011 Honda Fit fail at each age?
Cars built in 2011 were tested at ages 10 to 13 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 78 (rough estimate) | 15.4 | 9–25 | not available | not available |
| 11 | 408 (rough estimate) | 9.3 | 6.9–12.5 | 9.8 | 94.9 |
| 12 | 697 | 15.9 | 13.4–18.8 | 15.4 | 103.7 |
| 13 | 877 | 20.5 | 18–23.3 | 19.8 | 103.5 |

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.
