SsangYong Tivoli 2020: MOT failure rate for its age
19.3% of 1,017 MOT tests of the SsangYong Tivoli first registered in 2020 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 107.2 (95% CI 92.2–122.2; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2020 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 | 19.3 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 1017 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 92.2–122.2) | 107.2 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 1017 |
| Rank among this model's 6 build years | 6 | of 6 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 1017 |

How does the 2020 SsangYong Tivoli fail at each age?
Cars built in 2020 were tested at ages 3 to 4 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 | 498 (rough estimate) | 16.9 | 13.8–20.4 | 16.7 | 101.2 |
| 4 | 519 | 21.6 | 18.3–25.3 | 19.2 | 112.2 |

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.
