Why the fuel type changes the number
Converted LPG cars are tested on the same emissions basis as petrol, with the conversion itself checked for security and leaks.

What it means if you are buying one
The lpg London Taxis International Tx4 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 lpg London Taxis International Tx4 had covered 303,284 miles at test, against 218,807 for the diesel. That is very high mileage. Clutches, dual-mass flywheels and head gaskets have usually been through at least one repair by this point, so ask for evidence rather than assume the car is original everywhere.
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 London Taxis International Tx4 page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
