Nissan GT-R 2013: MOT failure rate for its age
9.2% of 262 MOT tests of the Nissan GT-R 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 96.9 (95% CI 58.1–135.6; 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. This is a rough estimate from a smaller sample.
| Measure | Value | Unit | Compared with | Years | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Failed first time | 9.2 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 262 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 58.1–135.6) | 96.9 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 262 |
| Rank among this model's 5 build years | 3 | of 5 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 262 |

How does the 2013 Nissan GT-R fail at each age?
Cars built in 2013 were tested at ages 6 to 11 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) |

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.
