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 Vitz specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 95.7%, and this hybrid version sits 8.2 points above the 87.5% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The hybrid Toyota Vitz 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 Vitz had covered 46,428 miles at test, against 50,731 for the petrol. That is below average for a car this age, worth a mileage-consistency check since an unusually low reading is sometimes clocking rather than luck.
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 Vitz page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
