2008 Toyota Estima: petrol or diesel?

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 75% pass first time (all 2008 cars: 57%) Stands out: steering swivel joints 8.4×, rear fog light 6.8×, link ball joint covers 2.2× 2,010 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Hybrid 74% pass first time (all 2008 cars: 57%) Stands out: rear fog light 6×, steering swivel joints 5.1×, sub-frame bushes 4.6× 1,640 MOTsSee the hybrid guide ›

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