Is the Roller Team getting worse?
The fail rate rose 0.1 points to 8.7% from 2022 to 2025 while the median one tested aged 2 years. Ageing alone would predict about 4.2 points, so it is holding up better than the fleet average for its age.
| Year | Tests | Median age | Fail rate | All cars | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 2,456 | 5 | 8.6% | 22.5% | |
| 2023 | 2,723 | 5 | 9.1% | 22.8% | |
| 2024 | 2,481 | 6 | 9% | 23.2% | |
| 2025 | 2,843 | 7 | 8.7% | 22.6% |
Fail rate is first attempts at class 4 tests. Median age is the age of a typical Roller Team at its test that year, and it is the number to watch: across the whole fleet each extra year of age adds roughly 1.9 points to the fail rate, so a model whose age and fail rate rise together is simply getting older.
