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 Peugeot Rcz specifically, petrol is the strongest at 73.2%, and this petrol version sits 1.3 points above the 71.9% model average.

What it means if you are buying one

The petrol Peugeot Rcz 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 petrol Peugeot Rcz had covered 65,516 miles at test, against 85,418 for the diesel. 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 Peugeot Rcz page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
