A pass rate records whether cars met the roadworthiness standard on test day. It is not a reliability score, and part of any gap reflects how old the tested cars were.

Voxy MOT pass rate by age

The same 2025 tests split by the car's age at test.

Toyota Voxy cars aged 3 to 5 years passed 92.7% of MOT tests. For cars aged 11 years and over that fell to 76.4%, a drop of 16.3 percentage points.

6 to 10 years 1,721 91.1% 18.8 pts above
11 years and over 605 76.4% 4.1 pts above

That is a steep decline with age, so the headline rate flatters older examples. The UK average of 72.3% covers cars of every age, so compare like with like.
