Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 76% pass first time (all 2019 cars: 85%) Stands out: brake pads 1.8×, wipers 2.3×, exhaust emissions (catalyst) 21× 2,596 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 78% pass first time (all 2019 cars: 85%) Nothing stands out above the usual rate 648 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
