Defects recorded against failed normal tests, 2005–2025, grouped by DVSA inspection section. One test can record multiple defects. "vs all bikes" is how often this model's tests record a defect in the group, as a multiple of the all-bike rate.

How rivals compare

same type, similar capacity, high test volume

On first-time pass rate the VOX beats 4 of its 4 closest rivals (PIAGGIO VESPA, HONDA PCX 125, HONDA Vision 110).

Rivals share this bike's type and sit within ±30% of its engine capacity, ≥ 5,000 tests. Card colour = better/worse first-time pass rate than the VOX.

Pass rate by registration year

how each model-year cohort fares · registration year from first use date

Best year to buy used: 2015 (88.9% pass). Weakest: 2013 (79.1%).

First-time pass rate by the year each bike was first registered (cohorts with ≥ 50 tests). Older cohorts are survivors: the worst examples have already left the road, which tends to lift the earliest years.

PEUGEOT VOX FAQ

answers computed from the data above · terms in the glossary

Is the PEUGEOT VOX reliable?

The PEUGEOT VOX is more reliable than average for its class: 82.5% of its 651 MOT tests (2005–2025) passed first time, against a class average of 73.4%. That ranks it #3073 of 5426 models.

What does a VOX fail its MOT on most?

brakes — 17% of all defects recorded against failed VOX tests.

What is the best year of VOX to buy used?

By first-time pass rate, 2016-registered examples do best (88.9%) and 2013 worst (79.1%). Condition and history still trump the year.

How many miles will a VOX last?

The median VOX shows 6,897 miles at test, and examples around 20k miles still pass 69.8% of the time — mileage alone rarely kills one.
