SsangYong Rexton 2017: MOT failure rate for its age
28.1% of 2,374 MOT tests of the SsangYong Rexton 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 96.5 (95% CI 89.1–103.8; 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.
| Measure | Value | Unit | Compared with | Years | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Failed first time | 28.1 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 2374 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 89.1–103.8) | 96.5 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 2374 |
| Rank among this model's 12 build years | 5 | of 12 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 2374 |
| Tested in 2024 | 468 | tests | median 54,573 miles | 2024 | 468 |

How does the 2017 SsangYong Rexton fail at each age?
Cars built in 2017 were tested at ages 3 to 7 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 | 531 | 19.2 | 16.1–22.8 | 19.4 | 99.2 |
| 4 | 468 (rough estimate) | 25.2 | 21.5–29.3 | 29.1 | 86.6 |
| 5 | 450 (rough estimate) | 29.3 | 25.3–33.7 | 30.1 | 97.4 |
| 6 | 457 (rough estimate) | 35 | 30.8–39.5 | 33.9 | 103.4 |
| 7 | 468 (rough estimate) | 33.3 | 29.2–37.7 | 34.9 | 95.6 |

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.
