LTI TX4 2011: MOT failure rate for its age
41.4% of 10,139 MOT tests of the LTI TX4 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 103.6 (95% CI 100.5–106.8; 100 = normal for this model at that age): close to other build years of the same model at the same age (within 5 points of normal).
| Measure | Value | Unit | Compared with | Years | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Failed first time | 41.4 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 10139 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 100.5–106.8) | 103.6 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 10139 |
| Rank among this model's 12 build years | 11 | of 12 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 10139 |
| Tested in 2024 | 908 | tests | median 263,974 miles | 2024 | 908 |

How does the 2011 LTI TX4 fail at each age?
Cars built in 2011 were tested at ages 8 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 2,276 | 44.3 | 42.3–46.3 | 42.6 | 103.9 |
| 9 | 1,578 | 40.8 | 38.4–43.3 | 40.1 | 101.8 |
| 10 | 1,839 | 41.5 | 39.3–43.8 | 39.8 | 104.3 |

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.
