Renault Laguna 2007: MOT failure rate for its age
51.3% of 11,575 MOT tests of the Renault Laguna first registered in 2007 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 103.2 (95% CI 100.6–105.8; 100 = normal for this model at that age): close to other build years of the same model at the same age (within 5 points of 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.
