Petrol against the other Honda Fr-V versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 67.6% | 4,411 |
| Diesel | 59.3% | 2,686 |
| All Honda Fr-V | 64.5% | 7,108 |
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 Fr-V specifically, petrol is the strongest at 67.6%, and this petrol version sits 3.1 points above the 64.5% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Honda Fr-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 petrol Honda Fr-V had covered 118,965 miles at test, against 139,747 for the diesel. 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 Honda Fr-V page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
