Volkswagen CC 2013: MOT failure rate for its age
26.6% of 20,538 MOT tests of the Volkswagen CC first registered in 2013 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 105.5 (95% CI 102.7–108.3; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2013 Volkswagen CC fails more often than other build years of the same model at the same age.

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.
