Why the fuel type changes the number
Hybrids sidestep most emissions failures and tend to do lighter urban miles, though the extra weight tells on tyres and brakes.
On the Honda Cr-V specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 95.8%, and this hybrid version sits 16 points above the 79.8% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The hybrid Honda Cr-V 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 hybrid Honda Cr-V had covered 29,799 miles at test, against 107,583 for the diesel and 94,285 for the petrol. That is low mileage, which usually means light urban use. Short journeys are harder on batteries, brakes and exhausts than motorway miles, so do not assume low miles means low wear.
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 Honda Cr-V page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
