Volkswagen CC 2017: MOT failure rate for its age

15.0% of 1,296 MOT tests of the Volkswagen CC first registered in 2017 failed at the first attempt (2019–2024; retests excluded). Against this model's own normal rate at the same ages the index is 85.2 (95% CI 73.2–97.2; 100 = normal for this model at that age): the 2017 Volkswagen CC fails less often than other build years of the same model at the same age. This is a rough estimate from a smaller sample.
