Allowing for the age of the cars tested, its fail rate of 12.6% is 1.5 percentage points lower than the 14.1% you would expect from the average car of the same registration years. A pass rate is one useful signal of how well a model holds up, but it does not capture breakdowns between tests, repair costs or how an individual car has been looked after, so always check the history of the specific car.
