Why the fuel type changes the number
Hybrids sidestep most emissions failures and tend to do lighter urban miles, though the extra weight tells on tyres and brakes.
On the Toyota Corolla specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 92.7%, and this hybrid version sits 16.8 points above the 75.9% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The hybrid Toyota Corolla 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 hybrid Toyota Corolla had covered 61,526 miles at test, against 101,105 for the petrol and 135,516 for the diesel. That is around average, so condition and service history will tell you more than the odometer does.
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 Corolla page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
