Hybrid against the other Lexus Ct versions

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 Lexus Ct specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 89.3%, and this hybrid version sits 0.6 points above the 88.7% model average.

What it means if you are buying one

There is little to choose between fuel types on this model, so decide on running costs and mileage rather than MOT record. Buying a damaged one? run it through the analyzer, check the exact car, decode the VIN and check the mileage before you bid.

Mileage is part of the answer

The average hybrid Lexus Ct had covered 74,122 miles at test, against 104,343 for the petrol and 107,647 for the electric. That is a shade above the middle of the range, still ordinary wear rather than a red flag, but worth checking against the service book for the car's age.

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 Lexus Ct page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
