Petrol against the other Skoda Felicia versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |

| Diesel | 69.6% | 217 |
| All Skoda Felicia | 63.1% | 946 |
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 Skoda Felicia specifically, diesel is the strongest at 69.6%, and this petrol version sits 1.9 points below the 63.1% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Skoda Felicia 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 Skoda Felicia had covered 71,981 miles at test, against 102,832 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 Skoda Felicia page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
