Is the Voxy getting worse?
The fail rate fell 3.2 points to 8.7% from 2022 to 2025 while the median one tested aged 2 years. Ageing alone would predict about 5.2 points, so it is holding up better than the fleet average for its age.
| Year | Tests | Median age | Fail rate | All cars | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 756 | 7 | 11.9% | 22.5% | |
| 2023 | 1,052 | 8 | 12.5% | 22.8% | |
| 2024 | 1,503 | 8 | 11.4% | 23.2% | |
| 2025 | 2,575 | 9 | 8.7% | 22.6% |
Fail rate is first attempts at class 4 tests. Median age is the age of a typical Voxy 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.
The exact defects that fail it
Every failure item DVSA recorded against a Voxy in 2025, counted by how many tests each one appeared on.
- 1Rear fog lamp: not working41 tests
- 2Linkage ball joint dust cover: ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt35 tests
- 3Registration plate lamp(s): inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps23 tests
- 4Wipers: does not clear the windscreen effectively21 tests
- 5Position lamp: not working21 tests
- 6Ball joint dust cover: ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt20 tests
- 7Rear fog lamp: does not emit a steady red light17 tests
- 8Brake pads: less than 1.5 mm thick17 tests
What wears out first
Advisories are the tester flagging wear that is still legal. A typical Voxy collects 2.08 of them per test, and these are the ones that come up most. Treat it as the running-repairs list for the next year or two.
- 1Tread depth: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm152 tests
- 2Condition: has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure78 tests
- 3Brake pads: less than 1.5 mm thick67 tests
- 4Swivel pins and bushes: swivel pin and/or bush excessively worn66 tests
- 5Brake discs: in such a condition that it is seriously weakened51 tests
- 6Pins and bushes: pin or bush excessively worn47 tests
- 7Tread depth: tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm32 tests
- 8Headlamp: has a product on the lens so that the light output is severely reduced27 tests
