Why the fuel type changes the number
Converted LPG cars are tested on the same emissions basis as petrol, with the conversion itself checked for security and leaks.
On the Toyota Estima specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 87.2%, and this lpg version sits 6.4 points below the 83.2% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The lpg Toyota Estima 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 lpg Toyota Estima had covered 127,614 miles at test, against 95,984 for the petrol and 98,092 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 Estima page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
