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 Range Rover specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 90.6%, and this petrol version sits 1.9 points below the 80.7% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Land Rover Range Rover 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 Range Rover had covered 104,230 miles at test, against 100,030 for the diesel and 44,545 for the hybrid and 149,430 for the lpg. That is above average and into the range where cambelts and water pumps are due if they have not already been done, so ask for the service history rather than take the mileage on trust.
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 Range Rover page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
