Petrol against the other Renault Kadjar versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |
|---|---|---|

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 Renault Kadjar specifically, petrol is the strongest at 85.2%, and this petrol version sits 3.2 points above the 82% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Renault Kadjar 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 Renault Kadjar had covered 39,726 miles at test, against 63,655 for the diesel. That is below average for a car this age, worth a mileage-consistency check since an unusually low reading is sometimes clocking rather than luck.
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 Renault Kadjar page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
