Petrol against the other Toyota Camry versions
| Fuel | Pass rate | Tests |

| Petrol | 78.5% | 587 |
| All Toyota Camry | 89.3% | 1,744 |
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 Camry specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 94.8%, and this petrol version sits 10.8 points below the 89.3% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Toyota Camry 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 Camry had covered 110,410 miles at test, against 53,660 for the hybrid. That is high mileage, so timing belts, clutches, suspension bushes and corrosion are the items worth budgeting for rather than the MOT itself.
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 Camry page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
