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 Ls specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 89.8%, and this hybrid version sits 4 points above the 85.8% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The hybrid Lexus Ls 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 hybrid Lexus Ls had covered 56,530 miles at test, against 107,307 for the petrol. 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 Lexus Ls page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
