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 Toyota Auris specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 85.3%, and this petrol version sits 2.8 points below the 80.9% model average.

What it means if you are buying one

The petrol Toyota Auris 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 Toyota Auris had covered 81,490 miles at test, against 97,693 for the hybrid and 105,763 for the diesel and 109,651 for the electric. That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures.

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 Toyota Auris page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
