Toyota Verso 2018: MOT failure rate for its age
15.9% of 3,405 MOT tests of the Toyota Verso first registered in 2018 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 98.4 (95% CI 90.1–106.7; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2018 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 | 15.9 | % | all ages tested | 2019–2024 | 3405 |
| Index against this model at the same age (95% CI 90.1–106.7) | 98.4 | index | 100 = normal for this model at that age | 2019–2024 | 3405 |
| Rank among this model's 12 build years | 6 | of 12 | 1 = fails least for its age | 2019–2024 | 3405 |

How does the 2018 Toyota Verso fail at each age?
Cars built in 2018 were tested at ages 3 to 6 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 | 864 | 13.5 | 11.4–16 | 13 | 104.4 |
| 4 | 856 | 15.1 | 12.8–17.6 | 15.2 | 98.9 |

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.
