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 Honda Cr-V specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 95.8%, and this petrol version sits 1.6 points below the 79.8% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Honda Cr-V fails more often than the model average, so budget for the items that catch this fuel type and treat a fresh MOT as worth paying for. Check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.
Mileage is part of the answer
The average petrol Honda Cr-V had covered 94,285 miles at test, against 107,583 for the diesel and 29,799 for the hybrid. That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures.
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.
