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 Estima specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 87.2%, and this hybrid version sits 4 points above the 83.2% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The hybrid Toyota Estima 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 Estima had covered 98,092 miles at test, against 95,984 for the petrol and 127,614 for the lpg. 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 Toyota Estima page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
