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 59% pass first time (all 2002 cars: 58%) Stands out: drive shaft (cv) joints 2.6×, chassis rust or damage 3×, rust in key structural areas 3.1× 2,433 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 52% pass first time (all 2002 cars: 58%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 1.9×, chassis rust or damage 4.2×, drive shaft (cv) joints 2.8× 313 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

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