Toyota Alphard 2010: MOT failure rate for its age
20.9% of 683 MOT tests of the Toyota Alphard first registered in 2010 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 94.3 (95% CI 78.9–109.8; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2010 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 | 20.9 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 683 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 78.9–109.8) | 94.3 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 683 |
| Rank among this model's 16 build years | 4 | of 16 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 683 |
| Tested in 2024 | 358 | tests | median 72,985 miles | 2024 | 358 |

How does the 2010 Toyota Alphard fail at each age?
Cars built in 2010 were tested at ages 11 to 14 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.

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.
