SEAT Toledo 2019: MOT failure rate for its age

12.4% of 267 MOT tests of the SEAT Toledo 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 70.0 (95% CI 46.1–93.9; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2019 SEAT Toledo fails less often than other build years of the same model at the same age. This is a rough estimate from a smaller sample.
