Renault Master 2016: MOT failure rate for its age

23.6% of 4,563 MOT tests of the Renault Master first registered in 2016 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 102.1 (95% CI 96.0–108.2; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2016 build year is no different from other years of the same model at the same age.

MOT Risk Index (2026). Renault Master 2016 MOT statistics (data release dvsa-2024-v2; full dataset motriskindex-families-2024-v5, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22975051), updated 30 September 2026. motriskindex.co.uk/cars/renault-master/2016/

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.
