Skoda Karoq 2017: MOT failure rate for its age

10.0% of 329 MOT tests of the Skoda Karoq first registered in 2017 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 100.7 (95% CI 66.3–135.0; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2017 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.
