2013 Peugeot Horizon MOT pass rate: 68.4% (2,722 tests)
Is the 2013 Horizon getting worse?
Pass rate of 2013-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 68.5% -6.1 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 69.0% -4.1 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 67.7% -4.5 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.
