2000 Volkswagen Lupo: 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
60% pass first time (all 2000 cars: 61%)
Stands out: engine oil leaks 1.7×, exhaust system 1.9×, coil springs 1.9×
2,084 MOTsSee the petrol guide ›
Diesel
63% pass first time (all 2000 cars: 61%)
Nothing stands out above the usual rate
132 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›
Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
