Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2013 Peugeot Vox?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

The 2013 Peugeot Vox has a first-time MOT pass rate of 86%, which is 6 percentage points above the UK average, suggesting above-average reliability for its age. With only 9% of vehicles having recorded a dangerous defect, it's a reasonably safe bet from a major structural or safety perspective.

These cars are running at just 10,134 miles median mileage—unusually low for a 2013 model—which explains the strong pass rate and suggests light-use ownership. The average of 0.6 failures and 2.1 advisories per test indicates minor wear rather than serious mechanical problems, so budget for routine maintenance but don't expect expensive repairs; check the full service history carefully, as low mileage can mask deferred servicing rather than care.

We have limited data for the 2013 Peugeot Vox — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ About 1 in 12 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.
