Jaguar F-Type 2016: MOT failure rate for its age
8.2% of 12,499 MOT tests of the Jaguar F-Type first registered in 2016 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 92.0 (95% CI 86.4–97.6; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2016 Jaguar F-Type fails less often than other build years of the same model at the same age.
| Measure | Value | Unit | Compared with | Years | Tests |

| Age | Tests | Failed, % | 95% interval | Normal for this model at that age, % | Index (100 = normal) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 2,132 | 8 | 6.9–9.3 | 9.3 | 86.4 |
| 4 | 2,046 | 9.2 | 8–10.5 | 8.6 | 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.
