Isuzu TF 2012: MOT failure rate for its age
41.0% of 2,274 MOT tests of the Isuzu TF first registered in 2012 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 99.9 (95% CI 93.5–106.4; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2012 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 | 41.0 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 2274 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 93.5–106.4) | 99.9 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 2274 |
| Rank among this model's 4 build years | 3 | of 4 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 2274 |
| Tested in 2024 | 332 | tests | median 102,190 miles | 2024 | 332 |

How does the 2012 Isuzu TF fail at each age?
Cars built in 2012 were tested at ages 7 to 12 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 418 (rough estimate) | 39.5 | 34.9–44.2 | 42.9 | 92 |
| 8 | 387 (rough estimate) | 39.3 | 34.5–44.2 | 38.5 | 102.1 |
| 9 | 384 (rough estimate) | 39.6 | 34.8–44.6 | 41.2 | 96 |
| 10 | 383 (rough estimate) | 39.9 | 35.2–44.9 | 38.7 | 103.1 |
| 11 | 370 (rough estimate) | 42.4 | 37.5–47.5 | 42 | 101.1 |
| 12 | 332 (rough estimate) | 46.1 | 40.8–51.5 | 42.9 | 107.5 |

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.
