Jaguar X-Type 2009: MOT failure rate for its age
35.6% of 23,884 MOT tests of the Jaguar X-Type first registered in 2009 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 95.0 (95% CI 93.0–97.0; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2009 Jaguar X-Type fails less often than other build years of the same model at the same age.

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.
