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 Land Rover 88 specifically, diesel is the strongest at 78%, and this petrol version sits 1.1 points below the 75.4% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Land Rover 88 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 Land Rover 88 had covered 51,597 miles at test, against 58,673 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 Land Rover 88 page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
