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 Landcruiser specifically, diesel is the strongest at 71.7%, and this petrol version sits 3.3 points below the 71.5% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Toyota Landcruiser 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 Landcruiser had covered 151,027 miles at test, against 156,707 for the diesel. That is very high mileage. Clutches, dual-mass flywheels and head gaskets have usually been through at least one repair by this point, so ask for evidence rather than assume the car is original everywhere.
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 Landcruiser page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
