LTI TX4 2010: MOT failure rate for its age
40.1% of 9,839 MOT tests of the LTI TX4 first registered in 2010 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 96.8–103.0; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2010 build year is no different from other years of the same model at the same age.
| Measure | Value | Unit | Compared with | Years | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Failed first time | 40.1 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 9839 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 96.8–103.0) | 99.9 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 9839 |
| Rank among this model's 12 build years | 9 | of 12 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 9839 |
| Tested in 2024 | 788 | tests | median 296,406 miles | 2024 | 788 |

How does the 2010 LTI TX4 fail at each age?
Cars built in 2010 were tested at ages 9 to 14 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | 2,357 | 42.3 | 40.3–44.3 | 43.2 | 97.7 |
| 10 | 1,702 | 38.7 | 36.4–41.1 | 40.2 | 96.3 |
| 11 | 1,841 | 39.1 | 36.9–41.4 | 39.9 | 98.1 |
| 12 | 1,966 | 38.8 | 36.7–41 | 38 | 102.1 |
| 13 | 1,185 | 40.7 | 37.9–43.5 | 39.4 | 103.2 |
| 14 | 788 | 41.4 | 38–44.8 | 37.9 | 109.1 |

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.
