Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross 2019: MOT failure rate for its age
10.6% of 1,531 MOT tests of the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross first registered in 2019 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 86.9 (95% CI 73.5–100.3; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2019 build year is no different from other years of the same model at the same age. This is a rough estimate from a smaller sample.
| Measure | Value | Unit | Compared with | Years | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Failed first time | 10.6 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 1531 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 73.5–100.3) | 86.9 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 1531 |
| Rank among this model's 2 build years | 1 | of 2 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 1531 |
| Tested in 2024 | 512 | tests | median 31,181 miles | 2024 | 512 |

How does the 2019 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross fail at each age?
Cars built in 2019 were tested at ages 3 to 5 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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 509 | 8.1 | 6–10.7 | 12.2 | 66.1 |
| 4 | 510 | 9.4 | 7.2–12.3 | 10.6 | 89.1 |
| 5 | 512 | 14.3 | 11.5–17.6 | 13.8 | 103.5 |

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.
