LTI TX4 2013: MOT failure rate for its age

39.4% of 7,183 MOT tests of the LTI TX4 first registered in 2013 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 101.9 (95% CI 98.2–105.7; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2013 build year is no different from other years of the same model at the same age.

MOT Risk Index (2026). LTI TX4 2013 MOT statistics (data release dvsa-2024-v2; full dataset motriskindex-families-2024-v5, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22975051), updated 30 September 2026. motriskindex.co.uk/cars/london-taxis-int-tx4/2013/

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.
