Why the fuel type changes the number
Converted LPG cars are tested on the same emissions basis as petrol, with the conversion itself checked for security and leaks.
On the Ford Transit specifically, lpg is the strongest at 70.7%, and this lpg version sits 3 points above the 67.7% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The lpg Ford Transit is the stronger side of this model on MOT data. Still judge the individual car, but the fuel type is a mild point in its favour. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average lpg Ford Transit had covered 135,212 miles at test, against 120,130 for the diesel and 88,126 for the petrol. That is high mileage, so timing belts, clutches, suspension bushes and corrosion are the items worth budgeting for rather than the MOT itself.
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 Ford Transit page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
