Petrol against the other BMW X6 versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |

| Diesel | 84.8% | 12,869 |
| Petrol | 85.8% | 513 |
| All BMW X6 | 84.9% | 13,384 |
Why the fuel type changes the number
Petrol cars avoid the DPF and emissions failures that catch diesels, and usually fail on the same consumables as any other car.
On the BMW X6 specifically, petrol is the strongest at 85.8%, and this petrol version sits 0.9 points above the 84.9% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average petrol BMW X6 had covered 61,275 miles at test, against 86,394 for the diesel. That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does.
Fuel type and mileage are tangled together: diesels are usually bought by higher-mileage drivers, so some of any gap between fuels is the miles rather than the engine. The per-year figures on the BMW X6 page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
