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 Vitz specifically, hybrid is the strongest at 95.7%, and this petrol version sits 1 points below the 87.5% model average.
What it means if you are buying one
The petrol Toyota Vitz 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 Vitz had covered 50,731 miles at test, against 46,428 for the hybrid. 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 Vitz page separate age from fuel if you want to isolate one.
