1999 Toyota Picnic: 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 57% pass first time (all 1999 cars: 63%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 2.7×, drive shaft (cv) joints 3.5×, coil springs 2.3× 198 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›

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