Mitsubishi ASX 2014: MOT failure rate for its age
22.4% of 23,005 MOT tests of the Mitsubishi ASX first registered in 2014 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 109.6 (95% CI 106.6–112.6; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2014 Mitsubishi ASX fails more 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.
