Toyota Proace 2020: MOT failure rate for its age
24.3% of 3,567 MOT tests of the Toyota Proace 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 98.2 (95% CI 91.6–104.7; 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 | 24.3 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 3567 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 91.6–104.7) | 98.2 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 3567 |
| Rank among this model's 8 build years | 4 | of 8 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 3567 |
| Tested in 2024 | 1772 | tests | median 50,029 miles | 2024 | 1772 |

How does the 2020 Toyota Proace 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 | 1,795 | 23.6 | 21.7–25.6 | 22.6 | 104.6 |
| 4 | 1,772 | 24.9 | 22.9–27 | 26.8 | 92.7 |

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.
