Peugeot Bipper 2018: MOT failure rate for its age
32.8% of 244 MOT tests of the Peugeot Bipper first registered in 2018 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 107.8 (95% CI 84.2–131.4; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2018 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 | 32.8 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 244 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 84.2–131.4) | 107.8 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 244 |
| Rank among this model's 11 build years | 11 | of 11 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 244 |

How does the 2018 Peugeot Bipper fail at each age?
Cars built in 2018 were tested at ages 3 to 6 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 | 69 (rough estimate) | 20.3 | 12.5–31.2 | 22.5 | 90.2 |
| 4 | 59 (rough estimate) | 37.3 | 26.1–50 | 29.3 | 127.5 |
| 5 | 57 (rough estimate) | 31.6 | 21–44.5 | 34.9 | 90.5 |
| 6 | 59 (rough estimate) | 44.1 | 32.2–56.7 | 36.5 | 120.8 |

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.
