Toyota GT86 2020: MOT failure rate for its age

5.0% of 497 MOT tests of the Toyota GT86 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 67.9 (95% CI 41.3–94.5; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2020 Toyota GT86 fails less often than other build years of the same model at the same age. This is a rough estimate from a smaller sample.
