Toyota Proace 2016: MOT failure rate for its age
34.9% of 3,696 MOT tests of the Toyota Proace first registered in 2016 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 108.4 (95% CI 102.5–114.3; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2016 Toyota Proace fails more often than other build 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 | 34.9 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 3696 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 102.5–114.3) | 108.4 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 3696 |
| Rank among this model's 8 build years | 6 | of 8 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 3696 |
| Tested in 2024 | 586 | tests | median 82,713 miles | 2024 | 586 |

How does the 2016 Toyota Proace fail at each age?
Cars built in 2016 were tested at ages 3 to 8 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 | 631 | 27.9 | 24.5–31.5 | 25.3 | 110.4 |
| 4 | 625 | 32.8 | 29.2–36.6 | 28 | 117.1 |

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.
