Ranked on pass rate the Voxy sits 67th of 575 models in the data. Toyota as a brand averaged 75.1%, so this model runs 13.1 points ahead of its own brand. Toyota Voxy cars aged 3 to 5 years passed 92.7% of MOT tests in 2025; for examples aged 11 years and over that fell to 76.4%.

A pass rate is not a reliability score. The full Toyota Voxy MOT record has the pass rate by age, every common failure and how the Voxy compares with similar cars.

What should you check when buying a used Voxy?

The areas above, most common first, and what an MOT tester looks at in each.

1

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment

Walk round with every light on: headlights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights and the number plate lamp. Check no warning lights stay on after starting. 41.6% of Voxy failure items.

2

Suspension

Listen for knocks over bumps, check the car sits level, and look for leaking shock absorbers and split rubber gaiters. 19.4% of Voxy failure items.

3

Brakes

Make sure the pedal feels firm, the car stops in a straight line, the handbrake holds on a slope and no brake warning light is showing. 8.8% of Voxy failure items.

4

Visibility

Check the windscreen for chips or cracks in the driver's view, and that the wipers and washers clear it properly. 8.2% of Voxy failure items.

5

Tyres

Check tread depth across the full width of every tyre (the legal minimum is 1.6mm), and look for cuts, bulges and uneven wear. 8.1% of Voxy failure items.

None of this replaces the car's own record. Run a free MOT history check on the registration to see every test, advisory and recorded mileage for that car.

What the MOT record doesn't tell you

Knowing Toyota Voxy failures cluster around lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment and suspension tells you what to inspect. It tells you nothing about whether the car is safe to buy. An MOT does not show money still owed on the car, a write-off, a theft record or a clocked odometer.

Used Toyota Voxy FAQs

Is the Toyota Voxy reliable?

MOT data does not measure reliability. It records whether a car met the roadworthiness standard on the day of its test. What it does show is an 88.2% first-time pass rate for the Toyota Voxy across 2,763 tests in 2025, above the 72.3% average for all cars.

Do older Toyota Voxy cars fail their MOT more often?

Toyota Voxy cars aged 3 to 5 years passed 92.7% of MOT tests in 2025; for examples aged 11 years and over that fell to 76.4%. On an older example, the car's own MOT history tells you more than the model average.

What should I check before buying a used Toyota Voxy?

On the car itself, start with the areas it most often fails on: lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment, suspension and brakes. Then check the individual car's history: outstanding finance, insurance write-off records, stolen markers, mileage and previous keepers. None of these appear in the MOT record or on the V5C.

How do I check a Toyota Voxy's history?

Enter the registration of the specific car. A Carpeep car history check reports outstanding finance, write-off category, stolen markers, mileage history, previous keepers, MOT and tax status, import and export markers and scrapped status in one £15 report.
