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 Megane Scenic specifically, diesel is the strongest at 73.2%, and this petrol version sits 3.8 points below the 66.6% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Renault Megane Scenic 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 petrol Renault Megane Scenic had covered 102,377 miles at test, against 84,443 for the diesel. That is above average and into the range where cambelts and water pumps are due if they have not already been done, so ask for the service history rather than take the mileage on trust.
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 Megane Scenic page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
